Tsa'tinne

Tsa’tinne is a name associated with the Dane-zaa, the people of the Peace River country. Their lands extended along the Peace from its mountain canyon eastward towards Lake Athabasca. Families travelled through the river valleys and wooded uplands, hunting and gathering as the seasons changed. In 1793 Alexander Mackenzie ascended the Peace on his journey towards the Pacific, passing through a country already known and used by its Indigenous inhabitants.
