Chutine, originally Chutine Landing,[1] is an abandoned locality and a former settlement at the confluence of the Chutine and Stikine Rivers[2] in the Stikine Country of northwestern British Columbia, Canada. The name "Chutine" means "half-people" in the Tahltan language, as the community here was a mixture of Tahltan and Tlingit peoples.[3]
