Tsetsaut-Babine-Carrier-Chilcotin mythology

The mythology Tsetsaut-Babine-Carrier-Chilcotin includes the following Amerindian peoples: Babine, Witsuwitʼen, Nadotʼen-Wets'uwetʼen, Carrier, Dakelh, Takulli, Chilcotin, Tsilhqot'in.

the Babine – Witsuwitʼen or Nadotʼen-Wets'uwetʼen is an Athabaskan language spoken in central British Columbia. Its closest relative is the Carrier. Because of this linguistic relationship coupled with political and cultural ties, Babine–Witsuwitʼen is often referred to as Northern Carrier or Western Carrier. Scholarly opinion, however, is that it should be considered a distinct, albeit related, language (Kari 1975, Story 1984, Kari and Hargus 1989).

the Carrier, in French Porter or Dakelh, also called Takulli, Athabaskan-speaking North American Indian tribe centered in the upper branches of the Fraser River between the Coast Mountains and the Rocky Mountains in what is now central British Columbia.

the chilcotin (Where tsilhqot'in) is an Amerindian language originally spoken by the Chilcotin Indians whose traditional territory, the Chilcotin Country, is located in the mid-west of the province of British Columbia in Canada. It is part of the language group athapascans northern.
