Nechakot'en

The Nechako flows through a broad interior country of lakes, forest and rivers before joining the Fraser. Its Dakelh name is associated with the people of the Blackwater River. Dakelh communities along the river and its tributaries fished for salmon and sturgeon, with particular fishing places belonging to families. Farther upstream, Cheslatta villages stood beside lakes linked by trails to other communities across the interior.
