• This chapter provides a summary of this book and final thoughts on what constitutes tradition, exemplified by Yupik and Iñupiaq dance and song. As long as people pay particular attention to completing the long practised activity based on their own values, it is considered the practice as the continuity of their tradition. If intergenerational community members keep interacting with each other, the history of life continues expanding and transforming. The materials of the drums and the contexts of the dance performances may have transformed, but the knowledge is continuously expanded to accomplish sociability, an important value of the dance activity.
