Lot 5 HISTORY: Fort St. James was founded by Simon Fraser in 1806 and was referred to as the Stuart Lake post until 1822 when it became Fort St. James. It was the chief fur-trading post and capital of the large and prosperous district of New Caledonia, the birthplace of British Columbia. In 1821 the fort became a Hudson's Bay Company post. Today, five of the original buildings survive, including a storehouse and salmon cache. The Indian name for the site, "Na-'Kra'ztli" means "arrows floating by" and refers to a legendary battle with dwarfs, which left the Stuart River full of arrows where it leaves the lake. The grave site of one of the greatest chiefs known to Carrier First Nations is located near the Stuart River, as Chief Kwah requested when he died. RECREATION: Welcome to BC’s Lake’s District, a fishing paradise! Stuart Lake, seventh largest in the province (more than 90 kilometers long and up to 13 kilometers wide) is accessible by almost any street in Fort St James. This is a favourite fishing lake, not only for the locals but for fisherman from all over British Columbia, Alberta and the United States who come to travel the Stuart/Trembleur/Takla Lake system. Cast your rod for Salmon, Rainbow & Lake Trout as well as Whitefish and Chub. The Stuart/Trembleur/Takla Lake system is well known for its amazing canoeing and kayaking experiences. A person can travel from Stuart Lake up the Tachie to Trembleur Lake, up the Middle River to Takla Lake, to the Driftwood River, an unspoiled waterway of some 281 kilometers (175 miles). Looking for a little more quiet? There are hundreds of lakes and kilometers of river systems within a short driving distance from Caesar's Point. Fish for Trout and Whitefish in lakes like Camsell, Shass and McKnabb. You can fish in a different lake for as long as you stay.

  • Teaching Through Toponymy: Using Indigenous Place-Names in Outdoor Science Camps
    Teaching Through Toponymy: Using Indigenous Place-Names In Outdoor Science Camps Karen Ann Heikkila B.A., University of British Columbia, 1994 B.Ed., University of British Columbia, 1995 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of The Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Natural Resources and Environmental Studies (Geography) The University of Northern British Columbia January 2007 ©Karen Ann Heikkila, 2007 For All who teach and make known the Dakelh language and culture Abstract The naming of places, be they landforms, villages or cities, is a cultural phenomenon dating back to the earliest of times. Naming to identify and differentiate places seems to be as basic a need as assigning names to the persons and objects that make up one’s world. In the Tl’azt’en culture, where oral transmission was the means of passing down knowledge, people developed particular strategies for recalling information. Routes to hunting grounds or fishing holes, for instance, were memorized with the aid of place-names and through the narratives that illumined the named places. This study examines the potential of Dakelh place-names as a tool for educating Tl’azt’en children and youth about the Tl’azt’en ancestral past, the Dakelh language and places on the land that have sustained Tl’azt’enne for generations. The processes of colonization, resistance and cultural reclamation as observed in the naming and re-naming of places provides a theoretical framework from which to explore the potential of indigenous place-names to address issues of cultural revitalization and identity-strengthening. Such theory enables understanding of the importance of indigenous language and places on the land in sustaining cultural identity and forming the basis for appreciating oral tradition.

  • 2019 EARLY STUART SOCKEYE Preliminary Escapement Estimates
    2019 EARLY STUART SOCKEYE Preliminary Escapement Estimates Preliminary escapement estimates are based on in-season data that have not been fully verified. Changes in preliminary estimates are likely. Background The Early Run, commonly referred to as the Early Stuart Run, consists of more than 40 populations that spawn exclusively in the Stuart River system and which comprise one of the 24 validated Conservation Units (CU) that have been identified for Fraser Sockeye (Grant et al. 2011). Populations within this timing group enter the lower Fraser River from late June to mid-July and migrate immediately upstream to terminal spawning areas. Spawners begin arriving on the spawning grounds in late July, with peak of spawning from early to mid-August. Die-off is generally complete by late August. The Early Stuart CU (Takla-Trembleur-EStu) was designated RED status in the 2017 Wild Salmon Policy biological status evaluations (DFO 2018) and was recently recommended for listing as Endangered by COSEWIC (Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada) (COSEWIC 2017). The 2015 brood year escapement for the Early Stuart Run totaled 10,096 spawners with an average spawning success of 75.1%. The largest populations in 2015 were observed in O’Ne-Ell Creek (1,693), Sidney Creek (1,355), Van Decar Creek (1,151) and Gluske Creek (754). The 2019 Early Stuart assessment project was conducted jointly by DFO Fraser River Stock Assessment and T’lazt’en Nation. Big Bar Landslide on the Fraser River According to satellite data, the Big Bar landslide occurred sometime during late October - early November, 2018.
