Love the puffin dance and your outfit and bead work.i am 100 percent native from arizona I sing for the apache crown dancers they are called fans meaning mountain spirits keep on doing what your doing even when you dont feel like it the preservation needs you and on a personal note their will always be something or someone negative out there the will never understand you until they dance next to you love from ft McDowell San Carlos wt mountain and campverde Prescott mescalero all yavapai apache nation...
what a beautiful person
Blessings sweet family, Praying for you all to One TRUE CREATOR
Remembered this seeing her on KTUU tonight about making a traditional Unangax meal on thanksgiving.
Beautiful dance
The puffin dance is cool.
It has such a cute name: reminds me of the bird!
I llloooovvvveee birds!😍
Man Native women always so beautiful! Like butterflies!
Love this young lady, I hope she's still dancing and sharing the joys of her culture! 😊🎼🎸👍
We love her too!
I love native American girls. So spiritual. So in touch with nature.God knows how much a love nature ♥♥♥
Me too, nature is my love!🌄🗻🌅
I love them as well, though it depends on the tribe. But a lot of native girls are beautiful, and like you, I also love their spirituality and how they worship the earth. Same reason I like Pagan girls. But a lot of the traditional native girls rarely date outside their tribe.
I was happy just seeing her dance!!! Beautiful!😀👍🏼🌸💕
Isn't it just wonderful to watch? Thanks for checking it out. We hope you subscribed to the channel!
I went to Ketchikan, AK. I was simply amazed that there were so many Alaskan Natives living there. I did so much research before I went to Ketichikan. Too bad I was able to see the Totem bight State Park.... But i was able to experience such a wonderful place! I would love to go back there again!
Haliehana is amazing!
Like the video a lot! I love the Alaskan Native cultures and peoples! And anyone who says anything negative about your culture is probably envious or bitter because they don't have a culture. If they have a culture, it's probably not as interesting or beautiful as yours. Much love from a First Nations girl in Canada
im Aluet and Attitbaskin and pllp dance at the Angorage Hospital and at Alaskan Native Heritage
Everyone has a culture 😑
To be fair, it really depends on the tribe. You can't clump them all together. But the Tlingits for instance, I found to be really friendly, welcoming and happy to share their culture.
I personally just wish that the Russians would have been able to crush the Tlingit's before my local tribe of the Eyaks didn't suffer extreme losses. No pure blood Eyak let alone native speakers of the language exist, the Eyak are trying to bring back the language to a spoken language to resurrect it from death. I personally take pride in my family having lived for over 100 years with Eyak families being old family friends.
awesome, I remember her and the singer at the end from my visit to the Heritage Center on the opening day this year :)
Beautiful! and all you're videos as well, so many inspiring people out there in Alaska
We agree! Thank you for the kind words!
Love the style of your dance.
This young woman is radiant
She is lovely and a great dancer.
Very spiritual and meditative

Goodness she is beautiful!! too bad she might be might distant cousin lol.
The government should allow native people to get free ancestry testing so they can see who to avoid when choosing life partners.
The New Natives yeah but the app is in Icelandic. You’ll have to learn the language first
Leland Abernathy Tests are cheap but avoid them. At some point the government could use the information against you or to disenroll tribal members. Also you cannot control who gets the results. Imagine being genetically likely to have a medical issue and insurance not covering it because it is a known preexisting condition.
viva alaska native
Wonderful!
It is a privilege indeed!
happy holidays, Din'e tribe..
wow your beautiful keep up the good work!
Beautiful that dance is
very nice video .
Hello. Great video! Can I use it for a music video?
I will throat singing, Alaska native drum and Alaska native dancing. I chose Eyak or Yupik. I will be so fancy in Alaska Dispatch News
Are you Tlingit or Atabaskan?
Originally this was way long but I edited it down TLDR: my aunt has a native dance group and ultimatly shes a nice person but it always just seems like she trys to gatekeep and/or is just difficult unless shes obligated not to or it's to her benefit and because of that it's nice to find at least anecdotal info about my heritage.

If Your hair is free flowing and your ideas are too you are HUMAN.
Remember..Your hair must be free flowing and your ideas too. God Made us like that!
No, people ~ she is not a beautiful soul. She sides with antifa ~ I live here in Alaska, and I know who she is. She has a lot of hate in her soul (or maybe is a bit misguided, politically?). She is claiming "assault" when the mayor of Wasilla touched her arm for seconds, and told her she couldn't sit in the legislators' seats at the recent special session in Wasilla - she was part of the organized antifa protesters (long story). But seriously, "touched her arm" is now assault, for a lawsuit?? She does dance well, and is very pretty, but she is NOT the good person you take her to be. Don't judge a book, by its cover.
she's a cute Latina
lol?????
Mike Waisnor , what you call "Latina" from the lower 48 is nothing but a Spanish speaking Native American from south of the US border on the Rio Grande River.
Um no. I believe she is Alaskan native. 🤨 but she does look like a Latin American though.
She is Alaskan native her dialect is close to ours apache also close to navajo I am yavapai apache....
THE STRONGEST PEOPLE IN EARTH ARE IN ALASKA HOWEVER THEY FACE EXTERMINATION DUE TO BLACKS MARRYING NATIVE WOMEN
oh word?
pretty sure that's not extermination
I'm also pretty sure anyone can marry anyone they want. If some don't want to be "exterminated", then they could choose to marry other natives.
You are absolutely gorgeous. ..Please marry native or white only...never tightly coiled hair non human blacks.
Is your hair coiled?
If si disregard my advise which is only for pure blooded natives.
