Nak'azdlit'en

Nak’azdli stands at the outlet of Stuart Lake, where its waters begin their journey towards the Nechako River. The Dakelh people of this village lived by fishing, hunting and travel between the lakes of the interior. Chief Kw’eh received Simon Fraser when he arrived in 1806; the North West Company established its Stuart Lake post nearby. Known later as Fort St. James, the post became a centre of the fur trade in Dakelh country.
