The Dakelh (pronounced [tákʰɛɬ]) or Carrier are the indigenous people of a large portion of the Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada.
Most Carrier call themselves Dakelh, meaning "people who go around by boat". The term Carrier is a translation of the name for them used by the neighbouring Sekani First Nations people which Europeans learned first because they crossed Sekani territory before entering Dakelh territory. The Dakelh are linguistically Dene or Athabaskan. Athabaskan is the name given to the Dene speaking language groups by Cree speaking nations.
Traditional Dakelh territory includes the area along the Fraser River from north of Prince George to south of Quesnel and including the Barkerville-Wells area, the Nechako Country, the areas around Stuart Lake, Trembleur Lake, Takla Lake, Fraser Lake, and Babine Lake, the Bulkley Valley, and the region along the West Road River, west to the Hazelton Mountains and the Kitimat Ranges of the Coast Mountains, including the Kluskus Lakes, Ootsa Lake, the Quanchus and Fawnie Ranges, and Cheslatta Lake.
Got nine million nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine tears to go
And then I don't know if I'll be over you
The sun didn't shine this morning it's been raining the whole day through
Suddenly without warning you found somebody new
That's when the first tear came falling from my eyes
I'm beginning to feel the pain seeing nothing but cloudy skies
Got nine million nine hundred...
Well I'll be over you
You're out tonight with your new love I'm far far from your mind
Trying to get over you love chould take a whole lifetime
I can't believe you could want anybody else so no one could take my place
At least that's what I keep telling myself as the tears fall down my face
Got nine million nine hundred...
I'll be over you
Got nine million nine hundred...
