As Haisla Chief <a href=\"https:\/\/ppforum.ca\/policy-speaking\/chief-crystal-smith-2025-testimonial-dinner-award-honouree\/\">Councillor<\/a> from 2017 to 2025, she helped advance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarlng.com\/government-of-canada-announces-support-for-cedar-lng\/\">Cedar LNG<\/a>, majority-owned by the Haisla with Pembina Pipeline as a partner, from concept to a positive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarlng.com\/government-of-canada-announces-support-for-cedar-lng\/\">final investment<\/a> decision in June 2024. The floating facility, designed to be powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarlng.com\/government-of-canada-announces-support-for-cedar-lng\/\">BC Hydro<\/a> electricity, is slated to start up in late 2028 with capacity of three million tonnes a year, backed by 20-year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biv.com\/news\/resources-agriculture\/haisla-blaze-a-path-for-indigenous-industry-9276244\">tolling agreements<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s absolutely amazing to see how we&#8217;ve taken our experience of not being involved to becoming majority owners of a project where we make majority of the decisions of what the technology would be,&#8221; Smith <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ds7vOa8XqHE&amp;t=811s\">said<\/a> during her appearance on the Power Struggle podcast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the beginning, Smith framed the work in human terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/ppforum.ca\/policy-speaking\/chief-crystal-smith-2025-testimonial-dinner-award-honouree\/\">Public Policy<\/a> Forum address earlier this year, she argued that \u201cgovernment relationships are a work in progress\u201d and that the point of partnership is \u201cbetter opportunities for our future generations.\u201d Her stance reflects a lived history in <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceworks.com\/haisla-chief-on-lng\/\">Kitimaat Village<\/a>, where heavy industry arrived without consent, and explains why she pushed for equity, decision-making, and dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cedar LNG\u2019s electric-drive design and compact footprint are in line with Haisla priorities, while jobs, training, and contracting opportunities are already visible along the corridor that links the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biv.com\/news\/resources-agriculture\/haisla-blaze-a-path-for-indigenous-industry-9276244\">Coastal GasLink<\/a> line to the <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceworks.com\/haisla-chief-on-lng\/\">Douglas Channel<\/a>. In Smith\u2019s words, criticism \u201cbrought our people together,\u201d because members could see careers and entrepreneurship emerging at home, and her leadership now extends far beyond the Nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen members who have lived in the Lower Mainland for years, because of lack of opportunity, move back home,&#8221; Smith said on Power Struggle, adding that people from Alberta have returned to work in the LNG industry. &#8220;People on Vancouver Island, who were just waiting for Cedar to come into operation and construction so that they could move home and be closer to family.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September 2025, Smith became Senior Fellow, Energy and Partnerships at<a href=\"https:\/\/energysecurefuture.ca\/esf-welcomes-crystal-smith-as-senior-fellow-energy-and-partnerships\/\"> Energy for a Secure Future<\/a>, and she was appointed to the federal<a href=\"https:\/\/energysecurefuture.ca\/esf-welcomes-crystal-smith-as-senior-fellow-energy-and-partnerships\/\"> Indigenous Advisory<\/a> Council to advance equity ownership and meaningful participation in major projects. This month, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute also introduced her as a Senior Fellow, reflecting her earned national role in shaping policy debates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International partners have noticed B.C.\u2019s Indigenous-led LNG industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Tokyo this year, the First Nations LNG Alliance, ESF, and Japan\u2019s IEEJ signed an <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceworks.com\/fnlng-tokyo-energy\/\">MOU<\/a> to grow Canada-Japan energy trade, with Indigenous-led projects at the centre of emissions reduction and energy security. Japanese demand for reliable, lower-carbon LNG dovetails with B.C.\u2019s short shipping lanes and electrified facilities, a point<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reconciliation is being politicised across the country, but the Haisla model, and Smith\u2019s career, demonstrate a practical path that unites environmental performance, Indigenous jurisdiction, and national interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-10-24-092524.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-101002\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Crystal Smith during her appearance on Season 2 of Power Struggle. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ottawa\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarlng.com\/government-of-canada-announces-support-for-cedar-lng\/\">Strategic Innovation<\/a> Fund support of up to 200 million dollars for Cedar LNG, and Tokyo\u2019s interest in Canadian supply, are not slogans. They are the scaffolding of a better way forward, one that lifts all boats by making Indigenous peoples co-owners of the prosperity they help create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot happening in the community in terms of infrastructure and new programming and and service delivery,&#8221; said Smith on Power Struggle. &#8220;Our nation&#8217;s constantly growing to be able to meet the needs of our people.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ship\u2019s name is apt, then, because it captures three truths at once. First, that leadership is concrete, not rhetorical. Second, that British Columbia\u2019s LNG story is increasingly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biv.com\/news\/resources-agriculture\/haisla-blaze-a-path-for-indigenous-industry-9276244\">Indigenous-led,<\/a> from Kitimat to the proposed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biv.com\/news\/resources-agriculture\/haisla-blaze-a-path-for-indigenous-industry-9276244\">Ksi Lisims<\/a> and Woodfibre projects. And third, that reconciliation\u2019s strongest argument is not a press release, but stronger families, training programs, and community services rebuilt with own-source revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinetraffic.com\/en\/ais\/details\/ships\/shipid:6551517\/mmsi:563125300\/imo:9874454\/vessel:DIAMOND_GAS_CRYSTAL\"> Diamond Gas Crystal<\/a> disappears beyond the horizon, it carries a message from the North Coast that reconciliation works best when it is built, owned, and steered by the people it is meant to serve. Smith\u2019s name on the hull simply makes that visible to the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An LNG carrier named for the woman who helped transform British
