Abstract

In history as well as in mythology, the Tahltan Indian people have always been acknowledged as the original inhabitants of the Stikine River watershed in northern British Columbia. Even though our people have lost the monopoly position of business in our own country, we are still active on many business fronts. Our present tribal objective is to increase our participation in all business that develops within the borders of our tribal territory so that we can again enjoy a self-sustaining, healthy and enterprising economy.
