Cheslatta Carrier Nation

Cheslatta Carrier Nation

The Cheslatta Carrier Nation is a First Nation located in the Interior of British Columbia. The traditional territory is centered on Cheslatta Lake. However, much of their territory, including Cheslatta Village, was flooded due to the construction of the Kenney Dam in 1952, with the result that most members now live on a dozen small scattered reserves just south of Francois Lake. The band office and other community buildings are located on a reserve about 2km south of the Southbank ferry dock.
