The name change came in a joint news release.
Teslin School has officially changed it's name to Khàtìnas.àxh Community School.
The announcement came today from both the Teslin Tlingit Council and the Khàtìnas.àxh Community School Council.
Residents, students, and parents along with council members all celebrated the name change and the new name is the Tlingit name of Billy Fox.
Fox was a respected member of the community and was an advocate of the school in Teslin.
Fox spoke both his native language and English, and worked as a RCMP special constable, hunter, trapper and many more trades in his lifetime.
The Khàtìnas.àxh name translates to "a raven that can be heard a long time after he is gone. He still makes noise like an echo".
Fox passed away in 1970.
