Four Dance sequences recorded for the exhibit, "Yuungnaqpiallerput / The Way We Genuinely Live" in 2007, including dancing outdoors in the mid-1900s, dancing in the Tununak qasgiq in the 1970s, the Toksook Bay dancers at the Mountain Village Dance Festival in 1980, the Scammon Bay Dancers in Bethel, AK in 1996, and the St. Mary's dancers performing in Bethel in 2003. Video produced by Mike Martz of KYUK in Bethel.

Halfway through this video, and after the dances, is "Yuraryarput Kangiit-llu / Our Way of Dance and their Meanings," produced in 2009 with recordings done by Theresa John as part of her doctoral work, including interviews with Vernon John, Simeon John, and Joe and Pauline Asuluk of Toksook Bay.
