The Tahltan people are facing unprecedented development in their traditional territory. There is a strong need for an employment and training strategy.
This sourcebook grew out of the exhibit Mehodihi: Well-Known Traditions of Tahltan People, which opened on October 18, 2003 at the Museum of Anthropology (MOA). It is the first ever Tahltan exhibit! Mehodihi means “Well-Known” in the Tahltan language.
The Socio-Cultural Working Group is devoting sustained attention and resources to the challenge of revitalizing our Tahltan language. There are less than 30 fluent speakers remaining. But an exciting plan is in place to reverse this trend.
