Nisga’a Nation speaks
out in support of LNG
development in BC
The Nisga’a Nation feels it is important to join with other Indigenous nations speaking out in favour of LNG development in British Columbia.
In 2014, the Nisga’a Nation showed leadership by entering into an agreement to support LNG development on the northwest coast of British Columbia. Since that time, we have been actively pursuing opportunities to establish an LNG project, which will allow us to achieve our goals of economic prosperity and prudent use of our lands and resources.
Our decision to support LNG development was made only after a rigorous environmental assessment process and a thorough process
of consultation. We continue to believe that such processes can result in an LNG project that strikes the right balance by bringing significant economic opportunities to our Nation and our people while minimising impacts to our lands and resources.
As the first Indigenous nation in British Columbia to enter into a modern treaty,
the Nisga’a Nation has constitutionally protected rights of self-government, clear legal ownership of our Nisga’a Lands, and significant rights and co-management responsibilities over the much larger areas covered by our treaty. These rights reflect the
long-held principles and values of the Nisga’a Nation and are the product of decades of negotiation. We use these rights, principles and values to thoroughly review each project that is proposed in our lands, inform ourselves about the potential impacts of the project, and determine whether it is right for our Nation.
