Sekani
Sekani
The Sekani (Sikanee, Thecannies) are an American Indian group who numbered about six hundred in 1978 and are located in the basin of the Peace River and its tributaries in British Columbia. Sekani is an Athapaskan language closely related to Beaver and Sarsi. The Sekani and the Beaver are considered a single culture by some observers, though the northern Sekani more closely resemble the neighboring Kaska.
