This exhibit contains 21 colourful paintings illustrating stories from a Tlicho legend told by Vital Thomas. Yamoozha is an eminent figure in many Dene legends. He is known as a traveller and very powerful being.

The artist, Archie Beaulieu is from Behchoko, and has a unique abstract style of painting that has gained him national and international recognition. His originals can be found in the collections of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and for the months of January and February 2013, they can also be found here at the Northern Life Museum & Cultural Centre.
