As Heard On Morning Line: Cama-i Dance Festival 2018 is over but the memories will last forever

Koahnic Broadcast Corporation

The Annual Cama-i Dance Festival wrapped up last weekend. 

The three-day celebration of Yup'ik dance traditions has been held in Bethel each March since 1993.  

Anchorage resident and Koahnic staffperson Angela Jenkins attended Cama-i Dance Festival for the first time this past weekend.  Jenkins is originally from Emmonak, and says going to the festival was amazing.  She's part of a new generation that is staying connected to traditional culture where ever they go, and is passing on those values to her daughter.
