Ulkatchot'en

Ulkatcho is a Dakelh homeland in the lake country west of the upper Fraser. Its name has been explained as “fat of the land,” referring to the abundance and condition of animals and fish. The people have ties to both Dakelh and Tsilhqot’in neighbours, and their languages reflect those connections. In the early nineteenth century a large Tsilhqot’in village stood on Little Anahim Lake, within this wider country of forests and lakes.
