The CNC Lakes Aboriginal Resource Centre provides programs and services on the unceded traditional territories of six local First Nations: Cheslatta Carrier Nation, Wet’suwet’en First Nation, Lake Babine Nation, Skin Tyee Nation, Nee Tahi Buhn Band, and Tsil Kaz Koh Nation. We acknowledge their graciousness for welcoming knowledge-seekers to their territory.
