Tŝilhqot’in History

The Tŝilhqot’in, an Indigenous nation in British Columbia, have a rich history of managing their lands through traditional practices like fishing, hunting, and crafting. They’ve maintained a strong cultural identity and deep spiritual connection to their territory for thousands of years. In recent history, they gained recognition for their legal victory in 2014, when Canada acknowledged their land rights through a landmark court ruling, establishing control over their traditional territories. This milestone affirms their sovereignty and ongoing efforts to preserve their cultural heritage, language, and environmental stewardship for future generations.
