Teslin began as a summer meeting place for many of the Tlingit people in the region. Non-native prospectors returned to Teslin Lake from the goldfields and lived off the land as well.
Since their migration inland, the Tlingit have adapted to the challenges of a harsher climate and the seasonal cycles. Today, the Teslin Tlingit remain well connected to their roots and their traditions.
