      Métis jiggers, Inuit throat singers, and Prairie hoop dancers: you can see all of them, and much more, at the Coastal First Nations Dance Festival, which runs amid the atmospheric surrounds of the Museum of Anthropology at UBC from Wednesday to next Sunday (March 6 to 10). Hosted by Dancers of Damelahamid, the annual extravaganza has afternoon, evening, and school shows. Highlighting the traditions of coastal British Columbia, Manitoba, the Yukon, and Alaska, it’s a rare chance to see a variety of styles—all full of dazzling costumes and masks—in one place.
