the e-world.
Traditional artists are the core of ArcticWays.com. From the villages of
Arctic Village, Venetie, Beaver, Fort Yukon, Stevens Village and Circle more
than 50 artists have signed up to participate in the program. In addition to
having their arts for sale highlighted, artists will also have their own
individual web page.
The Yukon Flats RC&D is able to provide a number of free services to
artists through the Council of Athabascan Tribal Governments Natural Resources
department. Artists crafts will be collected and warehoused for sale,
images of items will be placed on the website, transactions
managed and merchandise shipped to customers, and payments made to artists when their work is sold.
