The Dakelh (pronounced [tákʰɛɬ]) or Carrier are the indigenous people of a large portion of the Central Interior of British Columbia Canada.Most Carrier call themselves Dakelh meaning people who go around by boat. The term Carrier is a translation of the name for them used by the neighbouring Sekani First Nations people which Europeans learned first because they crossed Sekani territory before entering Dakelh territory.[citation needed] The Dakelh are linguistically Dene or Athabaskan.
