Fine and Decorative Arts
Our region has talented Artists and Artisans from the Tłįchǫ Region. They include traditional art and crafts, which preserve traditional knowledge and the unique Tłįchǫ style. We also have contemporary aboriginal art, which include paintings, depicting Tłįchǫ oral history passed on from generation to generation.
You will find paintings, prints, and clothing using traditional tanned hides, beadwork, embroidery, jewelry, traditional drums, snowshoes and many other beautiful and useful things.
To browse through the Artists and Artisans creations click on subject headings on the right hand column. Feel free to contact them directly to acquire their creations or visit the Tłįchǫ Online Store.
If you are in the Tłįchǫ region or Tłįchǫ descendant and would like to have your work displayed on this site, please email the webmaster[at]tlicho[dot]net or call Carole Rabesca at the Tłįchǫ Community Services Agency at 867-392-3000.
