About the Tahltan Central
Government

The Tahltan Central Government (TCG) is the

administrative governing body of the Tahltan
Nation. The Iskut Band and the Tahltan Band
continue to govern Tahltan interests with respect

to the Indian Act. The TCG is the representative
government of the Tahltan Nation with respect to
inherent Aboriginal title and rights.

The Tahltan Nation’s Territory spans 95,933 square
km of Northwest British Columbia or the equivalent

of 11 per cent of the province. Tahltan Territory
includes 70 per cent of BC’s Golden Triangle—a

world-class mining jurisdiction with a thriving
mineral exploration sector. Tahltan Territory is home
to three of BC’s 19 operating mines or their shared

footprint, and to approximately 25 per cent of BC’s
exploration activities by expenditure.
