Omineca Mountains

The Omineca Mountains form a remote group of ranges in the northern interior, west of the great valley of the Finlay River. Their name comes from the Sekani language. The Tsay Keh Dene, a Sekani people whose name means “people of the mountains,” have long lived and travelled through the Omineca and Rocky Mountains. Rivers and valleys through this high country form part of their ancestral lands.
