The Laichwiltach Youth Culture Group is a volunteer group that was started more than 20 years ago to teach the children, youth and adults from the Wei Wai Kum, We Wai Kai and Kwiakah First Nations our traditional songs, dances and how to make regalia. The group also welcomes members of other Kwakwaka’wakw Nations who reside within our territory to join in our cultural sharing.
Practices of singing and dancing are held in the Kwanwatsi Big House once a week on Mondays at 6 p.m. Recordings of the songs are available to help members practice. Members who wish to make regalia may contact Lorraine Henderson to discuss organizing sewing projects to coincide with the Culture meetings.
