Lhats'asʔin (also known as , Klatsassin, Klatsassan or Klattasine; died 1864), a chief of the Chilcotin ( Tsilhqot'in) people, led a small group of warriors in attacks on road-building crews near Bute Inlet, British Columbia, in April and May 1864. The road crews had been starving and underpaying Tsilhqot'in workers, as well as sexually abusing young Tsilhqot'in women, which provoked Lhats'asʔin to declare war on intruders to Tsilhqot'in lands. Lhats'asʔin and his followers were captured on August 11, 1864 under false pretenses of peace parley to end the Chilcotin War. They were shackled and tried as murderers, and were hanged at Quesnellemouth ( Quesnel, B.C.) on October 26, 1864. Lhats'asʔin and his fellow war chiefs were fully exonerated for any crime or wrongdoing on October 23rd, 2014, by British Columbia's Premier Christy Clark.
