Tse'khene

The Tse’khene, or Sekani, lived in the mountain country of the Finlay, Parsnip and upper Peace rivers. Their name has been translated as “people of the mountains.” Families travelled along the rivers and across the ranges, hunting large and small game and fishing in the warmer months. In 1824 Samuel Black encountered Sekani families on the Finlay and relied on their guidance as he explored the northern headwaters.
