Metlakatla Dancers

| On our next to last day we visited the Native American reservation of Metlakatla, the only reservation in Alaska (due to other natives opting in under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act). As with other communities in SE Alaska, Metlakatla is totally isolated except by sea or air. | In addition to a bus tour of the reservation, we were treated to a dance performance. I might have used a flash to try to capture the dances, but I wanted to capture their "feel" more than photos of costumes and faces, so I opted for 1/2" and 1" exposures, creating in some cases very abstract blurs. Apologies if you were looking for realism, but this is my interpretation. |
