Nuliacung Dance – 3D Driftwood Art This vibrant piece honors strong Yup’ik women—Nuliacung—who’ve stepped into roles traditionally held by men. The dancer, painted in full motion, playfully teases her Uicung (male cousin) with a pair of men’s dance fans, a bold shift from the customary reindeer hair fans. This joyful moment captures laughter, lighthearted rivalry, and the power of women’s leadership. Display it as a tribute to those who inspire through strength, humor, and heart.

As a child, being up close to the performance was a beautiful and thrilling experience. You could literally feel the wind created by their dance fans. Everyone moved in unison to the rhythm of the drum, guided by the conductor’s voice, which led the singers into the next verse. The conductor, holding his dance stick adorned with beautiful figurines, kept perfect rhythm.

I could hear “Apasugaq” Augustine Heavy leading the drumming, singing, and dancing. His strong voice, half-singing and half-talking, rose above everyone, reminiscent of blues or rock and roll. The entire group moved vigorously as one.
