The four-day event includes dance performances and associated events such as a Native art market, lectures, a juried art show and competition, traditional food contests, and a parade through downtown Juneau. First held in 1982, Celebration has grown into one of the largest events in Alaska, drawing thousands of people.

Indigenous cultures share so much in common, especially obesity. Pacific Islanders also have high diabetes rates. I place the blame solidly on the industrial food complex, the cruel American health care system, but also the easygoing lifestyles that breed boredom and idleness.
