Nadleh'whuten

Nadleh lies at the eastern end of Fraser Lake, where the short Nautley River carries its waters to the Nechako. Its name refers to the return of salmon, a vital resource for the Dakelh people of the lake and river. Trails linked Nadleh with villages on Stuart Lake to the north. In 1806 the North West Company built Fort Fraser nearby, entering a region where local communities already maintained their own routes of travel and exchange.
