Cama-i 2019: The Legacy of Maryann Sundown and Agnes Aguchak

For the first time since their Elder, Maryann Sundown, passed away in 2011, the Scammon Bay dancers returned to the Cama-i Dance Festival stage in Bethel. Known across Alaska as the "Dance Diva" for her deadpan humor and irresistible comedic style, Sundown and her sister Agnes Aguchak left behind a unique legacy in Yup'ik dance. This film honors that legacy and the community that carries it forward. National Edward R. Murrow Award — Excellence in Video.
