Nakiuk's goal is to continue to develop and produce Nakiuk Checker and Standard Nakiuk fur products while continuing to maintain both a close relationship with nature and a deep concern for the environment. The fur used to create Nakiuk fur boots and fur mittens does not come from endangered species but from abundant, renewable, natural sources such as coyote, fox, seal and beaver; in fact, their most popular fur boots are created from durable Normandy cowhide tanned in Brittany.

Unlike some of Nakiuk's competitors' Asian mass-produced short-life faux fur boots which are a synthetic, petrochemical product that ends up getting your feet cold, filling up landfill sites and polluting the environment, the real fur used in our warm fur boots is a durable, renewable, organic, natural and biodegradable material. Wearing our Nakiuk Checker fur boots is an environment-friendly choice. During the production of regular products, specifically at the cutting phase to be exact, our supplier has choice pieces of fur left over that normally were not utilized. The company's owners were inspired to create a complete new range of fur boots enabling them to efficiently recycle these many choice pieces of fur that they had otherwise had to throw out in the past. The result is the all new Nakiuk Checker line of fur boots. The recycling process entails much additional staff time and labour spent sorting, grading, cutting, and sewing these choice pieces of fur in a checker pattern, but the positive effect on the environment and the original style of our Nakiuk Checker fur boots in the marketplace make these items well worth the effort. All the tops of our Nakiuk Checker fur boots are manufactured with these excellent pieces of new fur that previously were wasted. These new Nakiuk Checker fur boots have all the characteristics of the Standard Nakiuk fur boots.

The Fur Council of Canada's own furisgreen.com website promotes 'fur as the responsible fashion choice'.
