Synopsis

Summary

Celebration is almost here! For four days every other June, the streets of Juneau are filled with Native people of all ages dressed in the signature regalia of clans from throughout Southeast Alaska and beyond. There is traditional song and dance, arts and crafts, and food. This is Celebration, a biennial festival of Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures. In this story, a young child prepares to attend the event with her family. She has been getting ready for months and can hardly wait to sing, dance, and participate in the festivities.
