	Tahltan Indian Tribe History
		The Tahltan have always lived on the upper reaches of the Stikine and near by on the Tahltan and Tuya rivers.
		The primitive houses were similar to those found in the fishing camps to-day; they were constructed of stout saplings stuck upright in the ground and bound together with bark rope or tree roots and roofed over with slabs of spruce bark.
		After the Cassiar gold excitement in 1874 they built a substantial log village on level space upward of a mile and a half from the junction of the Tahltan with the Stikine, which is generally known as Tahltan, though its native name is Goon-tdar-shaga ('where the spring water stops').

	Mammals » Dogs » Tahltan Bear Dog Main Page
		The Tahltan Bear Dog is thought to have been one of the favorite dogs kept by the Tahltan Indians of British Columbia.
		The Tahltan Bear Dogs were particularly adept at hunting during snowy weather since, because of their lightness, they were capable of running on top of the snow.
		The Tahltan Bear Dogs were carried by the Indians in small moose hide packs during the day and were released at night to guard the camp or during the day when game was close by.

		If you were looking for Tahltan country on a map you would look in northern British Columbia, in the Stikine River drainage basin.
		Tahltans have always depended on the land for their food and livelihood.
		The climate in Tahltan country is generally cool because of the high latitude (distance from the equator).

	Marxism message, [Marxism] Tahltan Elders Occupation spun by the Vancouver Sun.
		The Tahltan Indians and the others in the Dease Lake area off Highway 37 continue to try and protect what is left of the balance of land and life-- and further try to protect the very interconnectedness of the land and their lives that are indigenous to the area of northwestern "British Columbia".
		So imagine the surprise when, on Jan. 17, a group of 35 traditional Tahltan elders, some of them in their mid-80s, occupied the band office in Telegraph Creek to protest mining development on their territory and repudiated Chief Asp's authority to speak on their behalf.
		Asp said he's supported by a Tahltan majority and he'd soon talk to other elders as well as those he says are being misled and exploited by outside interests -- environmentalists, feminists and agitators from other tribal groups.

		A GROUP of Tahltan elders concerned about mining development in their traditional territory took over the band office in Telegraph Creek last week, as tensions over the band’s leadership — and its pro-mining stance — simmered over into political protest.
		The Tahltan have a long-established reputation as being at the forefront of aboriginal groups in B.C. who have been willing to work with mining companies, in return for jobs and other benefits.

	The Tahltan Bear Dog
		The Tahltan Indians of northwestern British Columbia have had dogs around their campfires as far back as their oral history goes, and they were adept at specialized breeding of their animals.
		The most highly valued breed in a Tahltan camp was not the large "husky" as you would probably expect, but a much smaller dog, about the size of a fox.
		It's generally reported that the dogs were carried to conserve their energy, but the high social value of a Bear Dog makes it likely that status for the owner, and protection of the little dog from the huskies, would have been significant factors in the decision to carry them, as would their very affectionate nature.

		Les Tahltans, peuple autochtone de langue athapascane, occupent une zone entourant la rivière Stikine, dans le Nord-Ouest de la Colombie-Britannique.
		Bien qu'ils se désignent eux-mêmes par plusieurs appellations, le mot « Tahltan » vient de la langue de leurs voisins, les TLINGITS.
		Le nom tlingit de l'emplacement du village situé à l'embouchure de la rivière Tahltan a servi à désigner de façon générale toutes les bandes identifiées aujourd'hui comme étant tahltanes.

		These decisions are being made by the two chiefs of the Tahltan Nation (Louis Louie and Jerry Asp) along with the central council but without the support of the band council." Only one councilor, Asp's cousin, supports him.
		Asp appears to be in a conflict of interest since he is both the Chief Operations Officer of Tahltan Nation Development Corporation (TNDC) which bids on many of the contracts that the mining projects provide, as well as the chief councilor giving the contracts the go ahead.
		Terri Brown, a spokesperson for the Tahltan says Jerry Asp's relatives hold many of the key positions in the company as well as in the band administration.

		The Tahltan protest is one of several current First Nations protests against the pace of development in rural B.C. Other ongoing conflicts include a mining moratorium near Fort St. James and a logging blockage in Kingcome Inlet.
		The Tahltan are powerful people, they have one of, if not the, lowest unemployment rates amongst aboriginal people and they are known for being shrewd negotiators who dont stand around with their hands out looking for "grants" and "special funding" like a number of other bands do.
		Since it's the Tahltan and Iskut elders who are putting the boots to this plan, it would be interesting to hear who steveoverhere thinks is the 'outsider'.

		With these mutual gestures of friendship, the Tahltans had taken on the task of protecting their friend from harm while he was their guest.
		Although the Tahltan accepted his friendship,and extended their hospitality, they repeatedly warned Campbell not to go into Tahltan village because of the presence there of Chief Shakes, the powerful leader of the Coastal Tlingits.

		Approximately 35 Tahltan's, led by their Elders, have been occupying their band office in Telegraph Creek BC (Turtle Island) since January 17 in protest of mineral extraction deals being made without consultation by Chief Band Councilor (Indian Act Chief), Jerry Asp.
		The community is concerned that Asp has been negotiating with Nova Gold who payed $100,000 to organize a 'Tahltan Special Assembly' on January 8th and 9th in Dease Lake at which time Tahltan's say they were informed on Nova's plans to begin exploration with full band support.
		The elders believe Asp is in a conflict of interest since he is negotiating on behalf of the Tahltan people while also the Vice President of Canada Aboriginal Mining Association (CAMA) and the Chief Operations Officer for Tahltan Nation Develop Corporation (TNDC).

		For the Tahltan, this means work by the Tahltan Technical Advisory Committee on Mining, if a mine project...and community input and response...however, all of our work and identification of options goes to the Chiefs and Councils for final decision.
		We would like to see the confusing phrase, "...not just the council or chief." removed from the text, or, we wish to have included the option that Chiefs and Councils may be the community decision-makers, through consensus support of all members.

		While the name Stikine, meaning "great river," comes from a Tlingit Indian word, the Spatsizi region, where author Wade Davis worked as a park ranger, gets its name from a Tahltan Indian word meaning "red goat." The goats are actually coated with red dust that comes from the iron oxide-rich slopes there.
		Goats are said to collect the dust on their coats by rolling around or bedding down in it.
		The Tahltan name for the Stikine, on the other hand, which begins in the Spatsizi and winds for 400 miles (650 kilometers) to the sea, is Tudeath'ah, meaning "long water."
