Tahltan Forest

The Tahltan homeland encompasses the upper Stikine River and the mountains, forests and tributaries around it. Seasonal hunting grounds extend far beyond the river’s main valley, towards the Iskut and the headwaters of the Nass and Skeena. Trails followed valleys through the mountainous country, linking villages with fishing places, hunting grounds and neighbouring peoples. The Stikine itself was an important route for exchange between the coast and the interior.
