Tahltan Land Stewardship Plan (TLSP

Tahltan Land Stewardship Plan

The Tahltan Land Stewardship Plan (TLSP) is one of the main projects under the TSI. The TLSP will be based on Tahltan knowledge and worldview, local knowledge and science and will describe how we will continue to take care of our land, water, fish, wildlife, and other natural resources. This is an important document that will, among other things, identify and ensure that the most sacred parts of our territory are protected for all generations to come.

The TLSP is being developed by Tahltans for Tahltan. The TLSP working group is assisting the Fish and Wildlife Departments to develop survey questions to include on the new Tahltan Stewardship Initiative (TSI) website. These surveys will be part of the first round of questions that will assist the TLSP working group to determine what is important to Tahltans and how membership would like to participate in and contribute to the TLSP project. The responses to these initial survey questions will also help us to create more in-depth interview questions when we begin to develop land and resource management direction in later stages of the planning process.

COVID-19 has significantly impacted our plans for engaging with membership and has limited our ability to meet with you in person. It is critical that Tahltans have input into this process. The upcoming surveys on the TSI website will be one of many ways that community input will be incorporated into the process. Please take the time to inform yourself on the TSI, the TLSP, and think about how you can contribute to these important initiatives.
