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.
