Band No: 721
Tribal Name: Lhoosk'uz, meaning half a whitefish. Lhoozk=a whitefish   'us=other side of the whitefish therefore "Lhooszk'us = half a whitefish. The plural form: Lhoosk'uz.

Chilcotin is the English rendering of "tsi qoxt'in," meaning people of the Chilcotin River, where tsi qox is translated  "Chilcotin River," which in turn combines tsi meaning "young man" and qox, which means "river."

The Dakelh (IPA: [tákʰɛɬ]) or Carrier are the indigenous people of a large portion of the Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada.

Most Carrier call themselves Dakelh, meaning "people who travel by water". The term Carrier is a translation of the name for them used by the neighboring Sekani First Nations people (in reference to widows of the tribe carrying their cremated husbands' ashes, in knapsacks, for a three-year period), which Europeans learned first because they crossed Sekani territory before entering Carrier territory. However, some Carrier elders believe this interpretation was creative nonsense invented to silence endless questions about the Carrier name's meaning.

In earlier times,the Carrier went by the chosen name "dakelh" (shortened from "uda dakehl"), which translated as "people who travel by boat on water in the morning". Mispronounced by early settlers as "takully", "dakehl" is now generally used to refer to all native people who speak a dialect in this language group. And, today, from the northern Carrier comes the generic label "dene" meaning "the people".

The Dakelh (along with the Sekani, Babine, and Chilcotin) are part of the Athabascan language family.

Tribal Council: Carrier-Chilcotin Tribal Council
Tribal Alliance: Dakelh (Carrier)

Alternate Names: Lhoosk'us, Lhoosk'uz.
