The
Stikine Country , also referred to as the
Stikine District or simply
"the Stikine", is one of the historical geographic regions of the
Canadian province of
British Columbia, located inland from the central
Alaska Panhandle and comprising the basin of the
Stikine River and its tributaries. The term
Stikine–Iskut (alone or in various combination forms "District", "Country", "Region") is also fairly common to describe the area, and references the
Iskut River, the Stikine's largest tributary and describable as its south fork.
