Music from the Village of King Island
Drumming, Singing and Dancing are an integral part of Eskimo Culture. And
is practiced at every large gathering. The songs are as varied as modern
music although most are about hunting and the animals that have allowed
our people to thrive for centuries. Some of the songs have been passed
down through the generations and some are new. The drums are seal or walrus
stomach stretched over a wood frame frame. Usually dancing is done in a
line in front of the drummers. The dance is comprised of motions that represent
activities relating to the song.
