The Coastal First Nations Dance Festival is a celebration of the stories, songs and dances of the indigenous peoples of the northwest coast of North America. The festival presents the rich cultural traditions practiced by dance groups from Brtish Columbia, the Yukon, Alaska and Washington State. These traditions are very much alive and vibrant toady.

In 2010 the Dancers of Damelahamid hosted a Maori Kapa haka Dance group from Gisborne New Zealand.
