Tahltan Nation
The Tàłtàn Nation is a
Organization
The British Columbia Government Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation webpage describes the status of the Tahltan Nation as follows:
"The overarching Tahltan Central Council (with offices at Dease Lake) is comprised of representatives of 10 families from each band. The TCC links the Tahltan bands and has represented them on issues of joint concern, specifically on asserted inherent rights and titles. Neither the Tahltan Indian Band nor the Iskut First Nation are affiliated with a tribal council and are recognized as separate, unaffiliated Indian bands by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. However, the TCC is a registered society under the B.C. Society Act."[2]
The Tahltan nation has 2 clans, Wolf and Crow.
The Tahltan nation also has managed to get mining operations off their lands thanks to The TCG president Chad Day. Such as the company that owns Jade Fever. [3]
There are two active mines on the Tahltan territory, they are the Red Chris mine and the Brucejack mine.
