Cheslatta Carrier Nation

The Cheslatta Carrier Nation is based at Southbank, on the south shore of Francois Lake, 23 kilometres south of Burns Lake. Many members of the Cheslatta Carrier Nation live on 17 Indian Reserves scattered over a vast area known as the ‘Southside’. Other Cheslatta members have moved away from their traditional lands and now live with their families in places like Prince George, Vancouver and elsewhere. Our nation is guided by our members and governed by a Chief and two Councillors. Current Chief Corrina Leween works with Councillors Ted Jack and Hazel Burt, and a dynamic team of Cheslatta staff to provide services and support to Cheslatta members. They also work with governments and industry on matters of importance to the nation. The Cheslatta Carrier Nation owns several businesses including the Pondosy Bay Resort, Cheslatta Marine Services, Cheslatta Logging and others which provide employment for members and revenues to support the nation.
