Sikanni is a variant spelling of Sekani, the name of an Athapaskan people of northern British Columbia, Canada. It is found in various placenames and related uses:
The Sikanni Range is a subrange of the Omineca Mountains in the Northern Interior of British Columbia, located between the Omineca and Atsika Rivers.
The Sikanni Chief River, is a river in the Northern Rocky Mountains region of the northern interior of British Columbia, Canada. Its headwaters are near Mount McCusker, northeast of the head of the Finlay Arm of Williston Lake. It joins the Fontas River to form the Fort Nelson River southeast of the town of Fort Nelson. However, among the local population the Fontas is viewed only as a tributary of the Sikinni Chief, in the view that the Sikanni continues to exist, flowing northwest to where it meets the larger Muskwa River where the Fort Nelson River is actually formed in the eyes of the indigenous Dene, Cree and European-descendant populations of Fort Nelson First Nation and Fort Nelson.
The Fontas River, originally Fantasque's River, after the name of a chief of the Sekani people, is a river in northeastern British Columbia, Canada, having its origin in northwestern Alberta, Canada. It joins the Sikanni Chief River southeast of the town of Fort Nelson, British Columbia, forming the Fort Nelson River.
"Fontas River...drains a large extent of country, roughly 3600 square miles. Its water, mainly derived from surface water and swamps, is dark in colour, and at its mouth forms a deep contrast to the white silty water of the Sikanni Chief.... The Fort Nelson River is formed by the junction of the Sikanni Chief and Fontas Rivers, at which point it is from 400 to 500 feet wide...."
The Muskwa-Kechika Management Area is a provincially-run tract of land in the far north of British Columbia. It has an advisory board that counsels the government on land-use decisions. Established by provincial government legislation in 1998, the area is meant to be preserved as a wild area, but development is not outright forbidden; the land is divided into different zones, with varying levels of protection, although the whole area is to be used according to an overall plan. The original concept called for 25% of the land to be turned into provincial parks, 60% to become "special management zones", and 15% to become "special wild land zones", where logging would be prohibited. The original size of the M-KMA was 4,450,000 hectares. However, in 2000, with the approval of the Mackenzie Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP), over 1,900,000 hectares were added to the M-KMA for a total area of 6,400,000 hectares —an area slightly smaller than the US state of Maine, or the entire island of Ireland, or seven times the size of Yellowstone National Park, in Wyoming.
The Dall River is a river in northern British Columbia, Canada, flowing northwest into the Turnagain River, a tributary of the Kechika, to the west of Mount Skook Davidson. Originally named the Cold Fish River, it was renamed in 1944 to avoid confusion with another river of that name that is a tributary of the Spatsizi, and because of the presence of Dall's sheep in the area. Dall Lake is along its course, south of Dall River Old Growth Provincial Park, which lies between the lake and the confluence with the Turnagain. Denetiah Provincial Park, on the river's upper course, includes Dall Lake.
