Keyoh is a Dakelh (Carrier) word meaning "territory". The principal and traditional meaning is the area of which a certain aboriginal or first nations group of people, basically an extended family group, with patrilocal residence who have stewardship and ownership rights. It is also applied to designate areas such as countries and settlements such as villages and towns. It is also used to designate a trapline in the non-native sense, that is the area within which a certain person has the right to trap, but the common translation "trapline" is misleading both in that it is not restricted to the right to trap and in that it is independent of the provincial system of trapline registration. Indeed, one source of disparity between provincially registered traplines and keyoh is that provincially registered traplines are held by a single individual who for many years had to be male, while keyoh are held corporately with its chief also being strongly patrileneal and known as the keyohwhudachun. The term is used even in an English context in reference to traditional rights to territory, as on the web site of the Maiyoo Keyoh
