Tahltan Values

TNDC is committed to pursuing sustainable economic development and strengthening the cultural wellness of the Tahltan Community by promoting traditional values based on the concepts of caring, sharing, cooperation, truth, honour, fairness and above all, respect. 

TNDC operations are also guided by the Tahltan Resource Development Policy and the 1910 Declaration of the Tahltan Tribe. These documents affirm Tahltan ownership and sovereignty over Tahltan territory and establish guiding principles that resource developers must adhere to when operating within Tahltan territory.

Guided by a 3 Year Strategic Plan
