Acho Dene Native Crafts
The Dene of the Northwest Territories, Canada, are historically nomadic hunters and gathers. Trapping, fishing and berry picking along the Sub-Arctic shores of the Mackenzie and Liard Rivers and Great Slave and Great Bear Lakes, the Dene preserved and maintained a balance between need and conservation.
Today, Dene Fur Clouds Ltd. of Fort Providence follows in the footsteps of its ancestors. Here a group of highly skilled group of Dene take their inspiration from the ceremonies and traditions of the past in the designing and making a unique line of hand knit fur garments and accessories.
