| Summary: | There have been many stories written about First Nations from British Columbia and their relationship with salmon. Stellakoh talook means salmon from the Stellakoh River in the Stellat'en language and this research takes a closer look at the past, present and future of Stellat'en (people from Stellaquo) and talook (salmon). I am from the community of Stellaquo where my grandmother instilled a secure knowledge in me that talook are to be respected. Being exposed to other cultures, I understood that many people were not raised with the same respect for talook as I was. In the past, I never really had the words to explain it, but I longed for the words to explain the importance of talook. In this thesis, stores from people knowledgeable about Stellat'en and talook are brought together to create a story about Stellakoh Tallok: The Importance of Salmon to Stellat'en. --Leaf ii.
