Caribou People Creations

Beaded seal fur mittens with beaded flowers and leaves at Caribou Creations in Lutsel K'e, Northwest Territories.

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.

Aurora Heat

handmade in the Northwest Territories, reusable fur warmers, wild beaver fur, Indigenous knowledge, and natural warmth.

Aurora Heat, Inc. creates reusable natural fur warmers handcrafted in the Northwest Territories. Designed to slip easily into gloves, mittens, boots, shoes, pockets, or close to the body, they add an effective layer of lasting warmth and northern comfort without chemicals, batteries, or disposable waste.

Made from sheared wild beaver fur, Aurora Heat, Inc. products use the soft, dense underfur that naturally holds body heat close to the skin. This breathable, lightweight, and durable material provides effective insulation in cold northern conditions.

Rooted in Indigenous knowledge, northern living, and respect for the Land, Aurora Heat, Inc. supports trappers, Indigenous women artisans, and the economic strength of northern communities. Our near zero-waste approach ensures wild fur is used fully and respectfully to create long-lasting warmth from a natural Canadian resource.

Our beaver fur is sourced through Indigenous and Canadian wildlife stewardship across Canada, including the Genuine Mackenzie Valley Fur Program in the Northwest Territories. This program supports NWT trappers and promotes the responsible use of wild fur. Wild beaver fur is regulated under Canadian and international trade standards.

Beaver fur is abundant, sustainable, and deeply connected to Indigenous and Canadian heritage. Aurora Heat, Inc. carries this tradition forward through practical, natural warmth made with care in the North.

Visitors can purchase Aurora Heat, Inc. products in the Northwest Territories or order online, with shipping available across Canada and to the United States.
