Tsilhqot'in Nation
The Tsilhqot'in Nation is an Indigenous group located in the central interior of British Columbia, Canada. They are part of the larger family of the Salishan language speakers and have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional practices, stories, and governance systems. The Tsilhqot'in people have historically relied on the land for hunting, fishing, and gathering.
In 2014, the Tsilhqot'in Nation made headlines when the Supreme Court of Canada recognized their land rights in a landmark ruling. This decision affirmed their title to a significant portion of their traditional territory, which has strengthened their efforts in self-governance and resource management.
