My name is Coscuya. I’m a wolf. I’m Tahltan on my mother’s side and Tahltan and Tlingit on my father’s side. My family clan is Good-za-ma, and I’m from Tagish Kwaan. My great grandma Nettie Dease was from Juneau. Coscuya was my granny Josephine’s Tahltan name, and I’m really honored to have it. My parents are Beatrice and Bill McPhee. I was born in Fairbanks, Alaska in 1971. We lived there until I was five, then moved to Telegraph Creek, British Columbia, which is were I was raised. I live in Vancouver now, and drive to Telegraph every summer to put up salmon with family. Because Telegraph Creek didn’t have a high school when I was growing up, I went to high school at Cassiar and Whitehorse. I have a law degree from University of Victoria and a social work degree from University College of the Cariboo. I served as Vice President, then President of the Tahltan Central Government, and I sit on the Tahltan Nation Development Corporation Board.
