Dernière mise à jour : 29 mai 2023

SavageSalvage Jewellery and Woodwork offers unique jewellery comprised of muskox horn, black bear teeth, caribou antler, fish vertebrae and other distinctly northern components. We also offer one of a kind furnishings and home decor focusing on northern flora as our inspiration. All of our natural materials are harvested by us, honouring traditional Denesuline hunting and gathering protocol on Great Slave Lake and the surrounding areas between Lutsel K'e and Somba K'e, Denendeh. 

Peyton Straker is a 21 year old Saulteaux from Cote First Nation living in Yellowknife with her partner Kyle Enzoe, age 30, of Lutsel K'e Dene First Nation. They met while attending Dechinta Bush University and have been creating, traveling and watching TV together since autumn of 2013. In their spare time they tend to fish, trap wolverines, play with the belt sander or boat across the East Arm between Yellowknife and Lutsel K'e. Kyle harvests big game all year around, focusing on caribou in the winter months and moose in the summer and fall. Once trapping season opens in November Kyle will work off the trapline on Gagnon Lake and in Fort Reliance, harvesting wolves. Peyton is a hobby jewellery maker aiming to create contemporary, wearable pieces of art made from materials obtained through traditional harvesting practices.
