Honouring Keyohwhuduchun George A’Huille

A Lasting Legacy

George A’Huille (also known as Hot’sot’en, Hahul, and Sidoman) was born in 1928 and served as Keyohwhuduchun of the ancestral villages of Susk’uz and Tsaisdli, as well as the Maiyoo Keyoh. He was the last known Keyohwhuduchun to wear the Tsik’usdzai headdress — a sacred and powerful symbol of hereditary law, land stewardship, and Dakelh governance.

George’s leadership embodied the teachings of respect, balance, and responsibility — values that continue to guide the Maiyoo Keyoh and its hereditary leaders today.

The Monument

A new monument now stands at Susk’uz, honouring George A’Huille’s life, leadership, and legacy. It marks not only his resting place but also the enduring spirit of the Maiyoo Keyoh — a living reminder of Dakelh strength, ancestral law, and connection to the land.

Through this monument, the story of George A’Huille and the generations he led remains visible, ensuring that his example continues to inspire those who follow in his footsteps.
