Celebrating Tahltan Day

On October 18, we recognize Tahltan Day, an immensely important day for the Tahltan Nation and TNDC, commemorating the 1910 Declaration of the Tahltan Tribe, a commanding time in history when Tahltans asserted sovereignty and rights to their lands. This iconic document remains the guiding principle of the Tahltan Nation today and on this monumental day Tahltans stand united, reasserting sovereignty and rights over their territory and celebrating their culture.

In 1910, as part of a growing movement to assert First Nations rights on the coast and the southern interior of BC, Chief Nanok of the Tahltan Nation, along with 80 other members of the tribe signed the declaration. The document claims sovereignty over Tahltan land and declares any land interests concerning the traditional territory of the Tahltan Nation to be settled directly with the Tahltan people. It represents a legal declaration of rights of Tahltan individuals to the Canadian government and British monarch. Tahltans have yet to extinguish their Aboriginal title by any other legal process.

For TNDC, Tahltan Day is more than a historic date. As the business arm of the Tahltan Nation, TNDC’s responsibility is to advance economic opportunity while honouring Tahltan values, respect for the land, cultural preservation, and community strength.

TNDC is committed to incorporating the 1910 Declaration into its mission and operations, honouring its legacy, celebrating this day with pride and purpose, and building awareness of this monumental day with our team and those we work with.

On September 30, TNDC honours the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. This day recognizes the harm inflicted on Indigenous Peoples in Canada through the residential school system, remembering the children who were forced to attend residential schools and the ongoing, intergenerational impacts on their families and communities.

TNDC and the federal government commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as a statutory holiday. TNDC offices will be closed on September 30 in recognition of this important day. As an Indigenous business owned by the Tahltan Nation, this day holds even greater significance. Many Tahltans and their relatives were forced to attend residential schools. To further recognize this solemn day, we are encouraging the TNDC team and those we work with to deepen their understanding of Indigenous history and the legacy of Canada’s residential school system.

On September 30, we encourage everyone to wear orange, hold a moment of silence in remembrance of the children who never returned home and in honour of Survivors, and attend a local National Day for Truth and Reconciliation or Orange Shirt Day event in support of truth and reconciliation in your community.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was established by the Government of Canada in 2021 to honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, Survivors, and their families and communities who continue to be affected by the legacy of the residential school system.

Orange Shirt Day originates from the story of Phyllis Webstad of the Stswecem’c Xget’tem First Nation. In 1973, on her first day at St. Joseph Mission Residential School in Williams Lake, B.C., Phyllis’s new orange shirt was taken from her, never to be returned. She later shared her story publicly, helping inspire the Orange Shirt Day movement and the message Every Child Matters.

Residential schools were created and funded by the Canadian government and operated by churches. Their purpose was to assimilate Indigenous children and separate them from their cultures, traditions, languages and identities. Many children experienced physical, sexual, emotional and psychological abuse while attending these institutions.
