Took this shot last week at the NYC International Polar Weekend at the American Museum of Natural History. The performers are Inuit sisters from Ottawa, Canada. According to the program notes, throatsinging is a unique type of vocalization whereby usually two people face each other and throatsing songs that imitate sounds found in nature and sounds of tools, such as: seagulls, geese, the wind, running water, and the saw.
The weather was fantastic and the crowds were huge, despite it being Super Bowl Sunday
I saw this group of school kids march in earlier in the day. But they sat up on the top set of steps, so I didn't see them again until the end of the inauguration. They attracted quite a crowd after the event. Everyone wanted pictures of the kids and the signs they made. And they were happy to pose for all of us. I'm sure that participating in this event will be something they'll remember for a long time.
