The proposed museum brings together the history and living culture of Tahltan people and Telegraph Creek. Its developing website offers a starting point for exploring the people, places and objects that hold these stories.
Community review comes first.
The museum website is a beta created for Tahltan cultural review and approval. All content is provisional and subject to review. This page introduces a proposed museum, rather than announcing an open visitor facility.
