A contrast of log buildings and luxury hotels, caribou steaks and caviar, dog teams and modern jets, this territorial capital city of 17,000 hardy Yellowknifers celebrates its past while thriving in the modern day.
First Nations culture is evident everywhere you go, and must-visit places include Dettah - a Dogrib Indian community - to see exquisite native crafts. For an in-depth look at the history and lifestyles of the northern peoples, including the Dene and Inuit cultures, visit The Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre.
