The intervening years between the fur trade and the present time saw a great upheaval and displacement of First Nations people due to European-introduced disease and disruption of traditional territories.  Due to the strength of the Daklelh culture, and the endurance of the people, these traditional skills have been passed down from generation to generation and are still practiced by many people today and are valued by people of all cultures.

For more information on Dakelh culture, please see our Nek'oh Tse'kut/Footprints in Stone website, or drop into the Quesnel museum and see the exhibit. You will also find additional information on Dakelh culture in the School Program section of this website, and by viewing the oral histories of elders a preview of which can be seen here.
