The Arts

The Arts Watch a master sculptor create a living, breathing animal from a piece of soapstone. Tour a print-making studio. Or watch the creation of a birchbark basket, complete with porcupine quillwork, then relax at a traditional camp beside a beautiful northern lake.

Listen to the languages of the northern people. Join in traditional get togethers. Take part in a drum dance, sample moose stew and bannock. Travel by dogteam on lakes or the sea ice. Listen to tales of life on the land.

There's a wide range of travel options available in the Northwest Territories, from full cultural immersion to day trips. Meet our northern people - many cultures, many talents.
