Tsilhqot'in
The Tsilhqot'in are an Indigenous people located in the central interior of British Columbia, Canada. They are part of the larger group known as the Salishan peoples and have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional practices, languages, and governance systems. The Tsilhqot'in territory encompasses vast areas of land, including mountains, rivers, and forests, which are integral to their way of life.
In 2014, the Tsilhqot'in Nation made history when the Supreme Court of Canada recognized their land rights in a landmark ruling. This decision affirmed their title to approximately 1,750 square kilometers of land, allowing them greater control over their resources and governance. The Tsilhqot'in continue to advocate for their rights and work towards preserving their culture and environment.
