Evie Mark, Akinisie Sivuarapik and the terrific duo of Kulavak bring their extraordinary energy and skill to the traditional Inuit art of throat singing, the Dakhká Khwáan Dancers bring stories to life through drumming and dancing, and accordion master Simeonie Keenainak will get your toes tapping.
