About Binche Whu’ten
Binche Whu'ten is a small reserve located north west of Fort St. James along Stuart Lake. We are part of the Dakelh cultural group, also known as Carrier People.
Dakelh worldviews are respected including: clan traditions, Dakelh values, cultural teachings, family, and community knowledge. Binche Whut’en members respect the voices, concerns, ideas and input from the community. Binche Whut’en has the right to self-determination as the community exerts their right to self govern and follow Dakelh ways.
Binche members follow and enforce traditional laws, bylaws, and codes that protect the people, lands, and animals on their traditional territories. The governance system is transparent, performance-based, and aligns with Dakelh values. The principles of fairness, honesty, equity, and sustainability guides all decisions concerning all resources.
