==History==
As early as 10,000 years ago, the [[Tahltan]] people, who now live in [[Dease Lake]], [[Telegraph Creek]] and the [[Iskut, British Columbia|Iskut]], used [[obsidian]] from Mount Edziza to make [[tool]]s and [[weapon]]s for trading material. This is the main source of obsidian found in northwestern British Columbia, which was traded as far away as [[Alaska]] and northern [[Alberta]].<ref>[http://www.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/exhibits/journeys/english/mountain_1_4a.html Journey & Transformations: British Columbia Landscapes] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011185251/http://www.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/exhibits/journeys/english/mountain_1_4a.html |date=2007-10-11 }} Retrieved on 2007-10-11</ref> Obsidian is a type of naturally occurring [[glass]] that is highly valued for its cutting qualities. Like all glass and some other types of naturally occurring rocks, obsidian breaks with a characteristic [[conchoidal fracture]], creating razor sharp edges.
More recently, Mount Edziza was made into the [[Mount Edziza Provincial Park and Recreation Area|Mount Edziza Provincial Park]] to preserve the volcanic and culture treasures unique to the northern British Columbia area. It encompasses over 230,000 hectares of the [[Tahltan Highland]]. There is no vehicle access to the park, and there are only a very few basic facilities.
