Connection & source
One named Sekani community / regional connectionThe Nation describes itself as one of the Sekani bands of northern interior British Columbia, with homes around Williston Lake. This establishes a route through one specifically named Sekani community; it does not make every Sekani person a member of this government or map their full homeland. Inspection: Actual About introduction, lines 58–62. Restricted member portal, present figures and program claims were not reviewed.

Both directory access points therefore lead from British Columbia to the same related people. This route does not establish a single government or an exclusive territorial boundary. Inspection: Actual identity/geography paragraph, line 31; no claim of comprehensive cultural or modern demographic review.

This provides a British Columbia regional connection, not a treaty-land or traditional-territory polygon. Dated March 2019 membership figures and current-law totals were excluded.
