The Tłı̨chǫ History website redesign was created to transform an important collection of cultural knowledge, stories, and archival materials into an accessible digital experience. The website serves as an online archive that preserves and shares the history, traditions, and lived experiences of the Tłı̨chǫ people, including their stories, timeline of significant events, connection to the land, and community knowledge.
The design approach focused on creating a user-friendly and respectful experience that allows visitors to explore complex historical information through intuitive navigation and engaging storytelling. Cultural identity was at the centre of the design system, incorporating elements inspired by Tłı̨chǫ land and traditions, including caribou hide textures, illustrations of the landscape, and visual details that reflect the deep relationship between the Tłı̨chǫ people and their territory. The result is a digital platform that balances modern web design with cultural authenticity, creating a meaningful space for education, preservation, and connection.
