Yurok/Wiyot Brush Dance Demonstration

What:

Presented by the Redwood National & State Parks

Many northwestern California tribes continue to pass on their language, arts, and traditions, particularly in the form of song and dance.  Traditionally, the Brush Dance is performed by the Yurok, Hupa, and Karuk Tribes of the Klamath/Trinity watershed, and Wiyot Tribe of the Humboldt Bay area, as a curing ceremony for a sick child in the community.

Come share in this celebration of local cultural diversity. Bring blankets or folding chairs as seating may be limited. For more information about this event, please contact Park Ranger Jim Wheeler at 707-465-7764.

The dance demonstration will take place at 1:00pm and will last about an hour.

Location: The Thomas H. Kuchel Visitor Center
located just off Highway 101, one mile south of Orick, on the beach just north of Freshwater Lagoon.
