About the artists: Peyton Straker is Saulteaux from Cote First Nation living in Yellowknife with her partner Kyle Enzoe 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, play with moose and muskox hides, hunt beavers, 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 peices of art made from materials obtained through traditional harvesting practices.
