Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
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. Eric is always happy to teach people the ways of the first people. He is one of the most influential and competent leaders and very well known throughout the Yukon Territory.
