Adult Moccasins (7M/8W)

These adult moccasins are made from moose hide and feature the skillful beadwork of Dene craftswomen in Deh Cho, Northwest Territories. Dene people create items from moose hide using skills handed down for countless generations in the Liard and Mackenzie Valleys. The home-tanned moose hide emits a smoky aroma that remains on these moccasins to remind you of their origin in the North. The beading on these moccasins is unique, and a true sign of the loving attention to detail of Dene craftswomen.

In the heart of the Deh Cho live the Deh Gah Gotie Dene (people who live by the river). The Deh Cho is located in the Northwest Territories. The Dene people are keepers of the land and so the Deh Cho Process is all about conservation and maintaining the land. 

Acho Dene Native Crafts began operations in 1976 as a project of the Government of the Northwest Territories and still operates as a Subsidiary of the Northwest Territories Business Development and Investment Corporation.

Over 40 cottage producers living in the community produce the products sold by the store. These products are made using a blend of ancestral techniques and themes with traditional and modern materials to make birch bark baskets, jewellery, moccasins, mittens, mukluks and other souvenirs.
