Southern Dakelh Nation Alliance

Southern Dakelh Nation Alliance represents the two Southern Dakelh Nations: Lhtako Dené Nation and Lhoosk’uz Dené Nation.

We assert inherent Southern Dakelh rights and title to support a healthy Southern Dakelh people with the resources to protect our Keyoh, our lands.

The Southern Dakelh Nation consists of two unique Dakelh communities, each with its history, leadership, and lands: Lhtako Dené Nation and Lhoosk’uz Dené Nation. The two communities have historical ties to each other, their Keyoh (lands), and the surrounding Indigenous communities, including Tsilhqot’in and Nuxalk.

In 2016, represented by Southern Dakelh leadership, SDNA signed an agreement to enter nation-to-nation discussions as a governing nation with the nation known as Canada. The Southern Dakelh Nation Alliance seeks to represent Southern Dakelh values and communities, taking direction from Southern Dakelh leadership for Southern Dakelh People and Lands.
