ShoppingYellowknife is a principal retail outlet for Northern artwork and craft items, as well as for the specialized clothing the climate demands. Some of it is so handsome that sheer vanity will make you wear it in more southerly temperatures. Northern Images, 4801 Franklin Ave. (tel. 867/873-5944), features authentic Native Canadian (Inuit and Dene) articles: apparel and carvings, graphic prints, silver jewelry, ornamental moose-hair tuftings, and porcupine quill work. Proceeds from sales go directly to Native artisans. Gallery of the Midnight Sun, 5005 Bryson Dr. (tel. 867/873-8064; www.gallerymidnightsun.com), has a great selection of Northern sculptures (mainly Inuit stone carvings), and also sells a variety of apparel, paintings, and arctic crafts.
