'''Fort Chilcotin''' was a short-lived [[Hudson's Bay Company]] trading post, located at the confluence of the [[Chilko River|Chilko]] and [[Chilcotin River]]s, [[British Columbia]], Canada. It operated between 1836 and 1844. A commercial failure due to the lack of interest in the company merchandise shown by the [[Tsilhqot'in]] people, its operations were moved north to [[Fort Kluskus]] in [[Dakelh]] Territory.
Today, the site where the fort once stood is colloquially known as "Hudson's Bay Flats" - remembered particularly by the Tsilhqot'in (via oral history) as the site where, during the [[Chilcotin War]], [[Klattasine|Lhats'as?in]] and the other Tsilhqot'in war chiefs were wrongfully arrested under a flag of truce for murder.
