Aurora Heat blends land-based knowledge with sustainable warmth

Aurora Heat, an Indigenous-led business based in Fort Smith, N.W.T., is producing a line of reusable warmth products crafted from wild beaver fur. It’s a choice that founder Brenda Dragon of the Tthebatthıe Dënésułıné Nation says is grounded in Dene teachings of respect, responsibility and living in balance with the land.That distinction is central to what Aurora Heat represents: a return to natural materials that last, a business model shaped by relationship rather than extraction, and a way of creating meaningful work for artisans in a small northern community.
