Traditional Athabascan Clothing Project

In the Artisans Workshop, master artists Josephine John, Corinna Evans, Denise Hardesty, Rita Pitka and Dixie Alexander are busy sewing a set of traditional Athabascan clothing. Stunning beadwork, moosehide, wolf, muskrat, wolverine and beaver fur, combined with master skin sewing skills, lots of laughter, and sore fingers are yielding the following creations:

• Yukon Style Women’s Muskrat Parka
• Yukon Style Child Size Parka
• Traditional Dress
• Moose Skin Chiefs Coat
• Moose Skin Vest
• Large and small Beaver Skin Hat
• Large and small Beaver gloves

Beginning June 1st, visitors to the Center will be able to dress their entire family in these beautiful creations and take home a family portrait on CD. $65 per family for a 15-minute portrait session.
