First Nations (Tsilhqot’in Nation)

The Tsilhqot’in Nation is a group of Indigenous peoples in British Columbia, Canada, who have a deep natural and cultural connection to their land. They have historically sought to protect their territory from external development and assert their rights to manage and benefit from their traditional lands. In 2014, they achieved a landmark legal victory when the Supreme Court of Canada recognized their title to a significant area, affirming their sovereignty and right to control land use. This decision is a major step toward respecting Indigenous land rights and supporting their ongoing efforts to preserve their culture and environment.
