The Tŝilhqot’in National Government was established in 1989 to meet the needs and represent the Tŝilhqot’in Nation and Tŝilhqot’in communities of Tl’etinqox, ʔEsdilagh, Yuneŝit’in, Tŝideldel, Tl’esqox and Xeni Gwet’in in their strive to re-establish a strong political government structure.
The communities are unified as a Nation to continue the work of our six War Chiefs from the Chilcotin War of 1864. In 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously declared Aboriginal Title to a portion of the Tŝilhqot’in Territory. This was the culmination of the work of Tŝilhqot’in ancestors to protect our lands and way of life, as well as a 25 year legal battle.
TNG has a dedicated obligation to its people to establish governance and projects that reflect Tŝilhqot’in values and ways of life.
