Carrier Sekani Tribal Counsil

The Carrier Sekani Tribal Counsil website holds a wealth of information. Resources available included info on history, such as the tribe names which came from the places where they traditionally settled. Also, animal stories with the lesson explained. Even Legal information such as treaty info, residential schools info and info about the counsil structure and why leaders were chosen.

Links to other sites were limited and not updated. Those that I did find supported the info found on that webpage but went to broken or removed sites.

This site is very useful if one was researching legal issues the First Nations of that area found important. The pages could be used to enhance the community reality of those who lived within the Carrier Sekani boundaries and support indigenous knowledge sharing, such as the local history of tribal names.

The Aboriginal Canada Portal is a government of Canada website which describes all the First Nations Communities. The specific link I looked at was for the Saik’uz First Nation. The only resaources available are links to other sites related to government either, federal or local First Nations governance. If someone was researching the location of a First Nations community or perhaps trying to find a link to the local community, the info on the website would be useful.
