Nats'enelu

Clothing has always been a distinctive aspect of North American culture.  Aside from protecting from harsh climates and terrain, clothing served as an outlet for artistic impression.  It is also a vehicle for communicating individual physical, social and spiritual well being. 

Inspired by Canada's northern wilderness, traditional aboriginal culture and working with MWG, the Nats'enelu collection has the quality craftsmanship reflective of the proud heritage of Canada's northern people.

Nats'enelu...Traditional clothing for everyday life.

Nats'enelu (slavey word meaning 'meeting together to sew') is an apparel manufacturer that is located in Canada's Fort Simpson, NWT.  The company is owned and operated by by the Dene First Nation and in it's twenty-five years of business has operated with a mandate 'to perpetuate the indigenous design culture inherent in the Mackenzie Delta region.'  Earlier this year, D'Arcy Moses, the driving force behind Nats'enelu and MWG formed a partnership to jointly produce garments designed by Moses and inspired by the Deh Cho traditional embellishments inherent to the Mackenzie Delta region.
