When my partner and I started WolfDen Designz 5 years ago, we wanted to continue a way of life that our ancestors have been doing for over 10,000 years. I learned how to tan hides, work with furs, bead and sew from my Kookum. In her hands, a hide would become buttery soft and ready to be turned into “wearable art” for our family to wear in the winters of Ontario. No part of the animal that we harvested went to waste, and there was a use for every part of the animal. We continue that same tradition today.
I am extremely humbled to be able to continue this way of life and to provide our customers with traditional Indigenous art that anyone can wear…yes anyone, even if you are not Indigenous. When you buy from an Indigenous artisan, you are helping them provide a sustainable income for their families, and it’s good allyship. Ty and hope to see you soon.
