Tls'etinqox

Tl'etinqox takes its Tsilhqot'in name from a creek in the Chilcotin country. This interior plateau, with its forests, grasslands, and rivers, forms part of the homeland of the Tsilhqot'in people. Their long-distance exchange included obsidian for making stone tools. In the late eighteenth century European goods began to reach the interior through trade from the Pacific coast, before fur-trading posts were established farther inland.
