Cama-i is back. Bethel hosted the festival this weekend for the first time since 2019. “It feels pretty amazing to dance in front of many other people and to see other dance groups dance and perform,” said Isabella Peterson.
Moses Paukan Sr.’s wife receives a plaque in his honor from Cama-i Dance Festival organizer Linda Curda. The Cama-i Dance Festival was held from March 24 to March 26.
Glancing at the printed schedule, Curda did some mental math. St. Mary’s was meant to be on stage already, but she moved up the Marshall dancers. Maybe she could move another? Paukan died in 2017 and was meant to be recognized at the 2020 festival, but it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. His wife, Martha, and some of his children traveled to Bethel to receive the dedication.
“Guess what? St. Mary’s is here!” she told the packed auditorium. Applause erupted as dancers and drummers poured onto the stage. Without pausing, they took their places and the yuraq began. Isabella Peterson is 16. This was her first Cama-i. She wasn’t on the plane that was delayed, but her grandmother was. Despite all the stress earlier in the day, she said that it was all worth it to step out on the stage in Bethel.
