Baskets come in various sizes, for various purposes. Every part is made by hand from natural materials gathered in the forest.
Dene women have lifted traditional craft to a fine art, by creating unique shapes and decorating them. Baskets are still stitched together in the traditional way with spruce root and a tie of moose hide. These traditional containers are justly famous for their restrained beauty and precision of craft.
