Started in 2019, Caribou People Creations is a service provided by Łutsël K’é Dene First Nation to assist local artists with marketing their products. There are two large glass display cases filled with local arts and crafts at the First Nation Office in Łutsël K’é where visitors can purchase items.

Łutsël K’é worked for many decades to protect their land for future generations and for the health of the Earth. The result was the establishment of the Thaıdene Nëné Indigenous Protected Area, which includes Thaıdene Nëné National Park Reserve, a territorial protected area, and a wildlife conservation area. Łutsël K’é has a long tradition of working in tourism, having three NWT fishing lodges in their territory for over 60 years. The community also have a long history in arts and crafts production. Still, the creation of the protected area has encouraged the expansion of the local tourism economy including fostering arts and crafts. The First Nation also owns and operates the newly renovated Frontier Lodge.
