We Are North Folk
We are not just from the North, we are of the North. We carry it inside. When we write, when we sing, when we craft, a part of the North whispers through us. You can see it in the details. The respect for the winter cold. The reverence for lakes and forests. The quiet earnestness. The joy in the work itself. The subtle wink. The welcoming smile.
It connects us as a community—from the Northwoods to the cities, from the reservation to the Iron Range, and well beyond.
We are North Folk. We are builders, makers, craftspeople who embrace the North around us and within us, and proudly share it with the world.
In wilderness people can find the silence and the solitude and the noncivilized surroundings that can connect them once again to their evolutionary heritage, and through an experience of the eternal mystery, can give them a sense of the sacredness of all creation.
