The internationally acclaimed Pink Martini is coming back to Juneau for a benefit concert to help rebuild Sitka’s historic clan house.<\/p>\n

Titled Hít Wooshdéi Yadukích — Dancing Our House Together, the benefit concert aims to bring together music and community in support of a project to restore an important cultural site in Southeast Alaska, the X’aaká Hít (Point House) in Sitka, according to a news release Monday, March 16.<\/p>\n

The concert, which is the second of a two-city Alaska fundraising tour, is Saturday, April 19 at Centennial Hall in Juneau. The first performance is April 15 in Sitka.<\/p>\n

Pink Martini is a 12-member ensemble known for blending jazz, classical, and global musical traditions. The group performs songs in more than 25 languages and has toured around the world.<\/p>\n

The group has previously performed in Juneau.<\/p>\n

The news release says that with Pink Martini’s “signature blend of musical styles and international repertoire,” the performance will “serve as both a celebration and a fundraiser, bringing audiences together through music while helping raise support for the rebuilding of X’aaká Hít.”<\/p>\n

“The evening connects the band’s global reach with a deeply local effort to restore a cultural space that will serve future generations,” the release adds.<\/p>\n

The Point House, which is known in Lingít as X’aaká Hít, was historically a clan house of the Kiks.ádi clan located in Sitka’s Indian Village.<\/p>\n

The release says the original structure was torn down decades ago, and now community leaders are working to re-envision and rebuild the clan house on its repatriated land.<\/p>\n

Clan houses, according to the release, are central to Lingít identity and traditionally serve as places for ceremony, governance, teaching, and gathering. The rebuilding effort aims to resture a place where cultural knowledge, stories and community life can continue for future generations.<\/p>\n

“The Point House site may look like an empty lot today, but for our clan it holds generations of history, knowledge, and identity,” said Jerrick Hope-Lang, a Kiks.ádi clan member helping lead the revitalization effort. “Rebuilding X’aaká Hít is about restoring a place for ceremony, learning, and gathering so future generations can continue our traditions.”<\/p>\n

The revitalization project is led by Katlian Collective, a Sitka-based nonprofit working to restore and sustain Lingít cultural heritage by rebuilding clan houses as places for cultural gatherings, ceremonies, and community events.<\/p>\n
