Fort Chilcotin

Fort Chilcotin was a short-lived Hudson's Bay Company trading post, located at the confluence of the Chilko and Chilcotin Rivers, 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, Lhats'as?in and the other Tsilhqot'in war chiefs were wrongfully arrested under a flag of truce for murder.
