SPECIAL NOTES: Spatsizi is the Tahltan word meaning “land of the red goat”, based on the mountain goats that roll in the iron oxide soils, coloring their normally white coats red. This area in northwestern British Columbia is remote: open plateau tundra and rugged mountains contrast with deep river drainages and cold, clear lakes. Recognition of the area’s uniqueness by early outfitter Tommy Walker and others led to establishment of Spatsizi as a Provincial Park in 1975, including use for seasonal recreation along with resident and guided non-resident hunting a unique land management system for BC. At Spatsizi Provincial Park, there is rustic infrastructure, but no fulltime residents, agriculture, or industry. Human access is only by foot, horse, river, and air.
Knowledge of this ecosystem began with local First Nation peoples, followed much later by establishment of a fur-trading post by the Hyland brothers. In time, based on formal wildlife research by Valerius Geist and others, the Spatsizi Association for Biological Research (SABR) was established; SABR is a non-profit entity supporting a long-term program on prey and predator species, from the 1980s to the 2000s. Spatsizi and its wildlife have a rich and very long history.
