Kluskus First Nation
The Lhoosk'uz Dene Nation (formerly the Kluskus First Nation Template:IPAc-en) is the band government of the Lhoosk’uz (from Lhooz – meaning ″white fish″ and k’uz – meaning ″half/side of″; "the half or side of the white fish is white"), a Dakelh people whose main reserve located on the Chilcotin Plateau 130 km west of the city of Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada. The First Nation is a member of the Carrier-Chilcotin Tribal Council, which includes both Tsilhqot'in and Carrier (Dakelh) communities (the Kluskus First Nation is Carrier).[1]

Politics
In 1973, the government of British Columbia unveiled plans to conduct extensive logging on the lands of Kluskus and Nazko First Nations. For over two years, Kluskus unsuccessfully sought an agreement on cooperative planning that would allow future generations of their peoples to benefit from the extraction of their natural resources. In March 1975, Kluskus and Nazko signed a joint declaration opposing further encroachment on their territories, the watersheds of the Nazko and Blackwater (Tiyakoh) Rivers west of the River to the Ulgatcho Mountains. When the provincial government continued to pursue logging plans, the people of the two first nations held public protests (led by Nazko Band manager Dennis Patrick and Kluskus Chief Roger Jimmie) in Quesnel in 1976.[20][21]
