Teslin is home to the Teslin Tlingit First Nation. We work closely with their citizens allowing us to learn their culture and native language as well as traditions that date back hundreds of years. Anyone employed with us will have the opportunity to personally meet current chief and former regional chief Eric Morris of Teslin Tlingit Council as he is part owner of our business.
