I have an old video cassette of the Fairbanks Fiddle Festival 1996. Some of the Gwitchin are there. I converted the video to DVD. One day I'll upload it. Good times!
Very cool. I wonder what is the history of Gwich'in fiddle music and dances? How did it come to be, I know the Metis also have some of the same fiddle music and dances. The Celtic also have fiddle music too. So, what brought it to Old Crow and to all the Gwich'in and Athabaskan peoples, and is there a Gwich'in style that is more unique to Gwich'in culture?
