Episode 84: Coven Petticrew has been deeply connected with revitalizing cultural dance for decades. He practiced it in the Aleutians and now he’s helping organize a Tlingit dance group in Wrangell, called Ch’xasaan. It acknowledges the first Raven village in the area and it means “waterfall town.” Petticrew talked with KSTK’s Colette Czarnecki on the meaning behind dance revitalization and how it’s a meaningful source for healing.
