Saik'uz

Saik’uz is a Dakelh community of the Nechako country, associated with the creek that flows from the lakes towards the Nechako River. Its name refers to a sandy place. For generations, families have fished for salmon and sturgeon at particular sites along the Nechako and neighbouring waterways, passing on knowledge of the fish and the places where they are caught. The river valley formed part of a wider network of Dakelh family territories.
