Bethel Traditional Dancers

The Bethel Traditional Dancers were started by Nick and Dan Charles in the 1950's and 60's. They were joined by Dick Andrew and Joe Chief. Bob and Susan Charles took the lead after their father. Elena Charles encouraged many others to continue dancing and singing. Currently Agnes Phillips and Ralph Lake are the group's leaders. Ten of the participates are direct descendants from Nelson Island.

Bethel Traditional Dancers will perform Friday at 5:40 p.m., Saturday at 4:10 p.m. and Sunday at 5:30 p.m.
