Ts'il Kaz Koh is a First Nation at Burns Lake, about 220 km west of Prince George, British Columbia. In the summer of 2022 the Nation formally changed its name to Ts'il Kaz Koh, which comes from the Carrier name for the creek that runs through the area. This replaced the name "Burns Lake Indian Band," which had been imposed on the community.

The Nation's reserves total about 184.6 hectares:

• Burns Lake 18 (main community)
• Poison Creek 17
• Poison Creek 17A
• Sheraton Creek 19

Ts'il Kaz Koh belongs to the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council, where territory is understood through the systems of Keyoh. The Nation has not signed a treaty. Instead, it has signed the Pathway Forward agreements with British Columbia, most recently version 3.0 in 2025, as well as forestry revenue-sharing agreements. Members elect a chief and two councillors every four years.

Community life includes a land-based culture and language program supporting Dakelh and Witsuwit'en, elders' gatherings, post-secondary education funding and a housing policy. The Nation completed the 42-bedroom Key-Oh Lodge in Burns Lake in 2017 and is a partner in the Burns Lake Community Forest. To learn more, visit the Ts'il Kaz Koh website.
