Takla Lake


Seventeen reserves on 807 hectares. The majority of band members living on reserve reside on North Takla Lake I.R. #7. This remote location is not accessible by any major highway.

The name is a poor approximation of the Carrier name for an early trading post near the northern end of the lake. This name means "at the end of the lake." The band is an amalgamation of the North Takla Lake and Fort Connelly Bands (the latter from the Bear Lake area) which merged in 1959. The band is part of the Carrier linguistic group.
