Nitainlaii Visitor Information Centre
|
|
Nitainlaii Visitor Information Centre is located at Nitainlaii Territorial Park, on the Dempster Highway, your route to the Arctic Ocean and beyond. On your Dempster Highway trip, drop in for a fascinating glimpse of the life of the Gwich'in Dene people, past & present. Sit outside on the porch if it is hot, or in front of the wood stove if it is cool, and enjoy a cup of stove-brewed coffee on the house. Nitainlaii is located in the heart of Gwich'in territory. Let a Gwich'in elder give you a personal guided tour of the displays, and explain traditional life out on the land, as it has been practiced for many generations. |

See examples of the clothing, tools, food, and means of getting about that were used on land, ice and water by Gwich'in people. Some of the many things on display, all made in the traditional way by local craftspeople, include a birch bark water pail, a caribou legging sled, and models of a birch bark canoe and moose hide boat. Find out about traditional uses for many of the local plants and animals. Check in at the visitor centre if you plan to spend a night at the park. |
