The Chilcotin War or Chilcotin Uprising was a confrontation in 1864 between members of the Tsilhqot'in (Chilcotin) people in British Columbia and whites. Fourteen men employed by Alfred Waddington in the building of a road from Bute Inlet were killed, as well as a number of men with a pack-train near Anahim Lake and a settler at Puntzi Lake. The killings resulted in an expedition in which the young governor of the colony, Frederick Seymour, participated. Five of the Tsilhqot'in men (Telloot, Klatsassin, Tah-pitt, Piele, and and Chessus) were arrested and charged with murder. They were tried by Judge Matthew Baillie Begbie. In defence of their actions, Klatsassin said they were waging war, not committing murder.
