The Git Hayetsk Dancers are based out of Vancouver and have been 
performing as a group since 1999. Members of Git Hayetsk come from many 
different nations including Tsimshian, Nisga'a, Gitxsan, Haida, Tlingit 
and Haisla. The name Git Hayetsk means people of the copper shield in 
the Tsimshian language. They have danced locally and internationally, 
travelling to places as far away as Germany and Japan. The group uses 
only traditional hand-made regalia, masks, and drums for their 
performances that include both ancient and contemporary dances.

Denise Brillon is a Cree French fashion designer and her new line of 
clothing is reflective of her traditional roots. She has achieved 
national and international recognition from showing her Indian Summer 
line at L'Oreal Fashion Week in Toronto. It's About Honour is part of 
the Artifaax line, one of Brillion's permanent collections. Her limited 
edition t-shirts will beavailable for sale June 21st, in the Kil Sli 
Native Gift Shop at the Gallery. Brillion is currently teaching 
self-appreciation for a program called C.H.A.R.M (Creating Healthy 
Aboriginal Role Models). Some of the program participants will be 
modeling Brillon's clothing line on Saturday.
