Every day these individuals are thinking about ways to reduce emissions. And the biggest that keeps coming up is the opportunity for Indigenous people and communities to lead these mega projects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sankey, who helped negotiate the past $36-billion Pacific Northwest LNG agreement in northern BC, says that time is of the essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s this window of opportunity for Indigenous communities to really pave the way to work with industry to look at innovation and technology and how better can we reduce our emissions and our carbon footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Melissa Mbarki of the Muskowekwan First Nation and currently a policy analyst and outreach coordinator with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute agrees. \u201cI think going forward with industry, if we could start building partnerships with operators \u2014oil and gas, mining, pipelines\u2014 if we start building these relationships with First Nations\u2019 communities, it\u2019ll be a win-win for all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She adds, however: \u201cI feel like in the last five or so years with the constraints that we\u2019ve had and the acts that were enacted, it really set us back. And it really put us in a place where we couldn\u2019t go forward with projects like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo going forward, one of the things that I really do is I advocate for the industry because I tell them it was something that took me out of poverty. It was something that gave me a rewarding career and it was something that really let me work with my community and hundreds of communities across Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was through work in the natural resource sector that Mbarki was able to break free from the cycle of poverty endemic in her community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have generations of residential school survivors in my community, and we also have really high rates of poverty, crime, and addiction, substance abuse. Like, we have it all in my community. One of the things that helped me was a summer position that I took on. It involved land management. I was out with the seismic crews looking at pretty much resurveying our entire reserve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, Mbarki has worked on pipelines. And: \u201cI\u2019ve worked on oil and gas. I\u2019ve worked on mining operations. And I\u2019ve been in the last 15 years&#8230; through the full lifecycle of a project&#8230;. I got to see how land was restored back to its original state&#8230;. I was out there taking soil samples. I was out there taking water samples. And I was out there planting trees. And if we can get Indigenous youth involved in this part of the industry, we would have a win-win situation for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sankey says that Indigenous people understand they don\u2019t have the capacity on their own to make these projects succeed. \u201cBut that being said, we have to be able to open our arms and create a landing strip for industry to come to the table. So as a collective as Indigenous communities, we have to be open-minded and understanding that we do have an audience that comes to us that doesn\u2019t know who we are&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity for us to develop a relationship that we could create a smooth transition and create dialogue, leadership to leadership, where we could move forward and get these projects built to our standards. And industry wants to support that. But we have to be willing to open the door, and make sure the landing strip is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Chris_Sankey-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Chris_Sankey-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Chris_Sankey-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Chris_Sankey-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Chris_Sankey.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Chris Sankey speaks at IPSS 2022 (PHOTO BY DARRYL DYCK FOR IPSS).<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI keep telling our people, \u2018Don\u2019t wait for government to transfer your lands because you\u2019ll be waiting forever. Go after all the fee simple land available to you and strategically position yourself so that when these opportunities do come, like these mega projects, you\u2019re in a very strong position to leverage and bring something to the table.\u2019 Not just with your land, but our language, arts, culture, and our knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Mbarki and Sankey advocate for early Indigenous engagement in any large projects. \u201cNot just for the project itself,\u201d says Mbarki, \u201cBut also for the community so they know where these projects are going to be in 20, 40 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the obstacles that we face is energy literacy. You know, we need to go out to our communities and tell them that pipelines [are for] specific commodities, whether it\u2019s oil or natural gas for LNG. You can not pump one in the other. They\u2019re specifically made and built for the commodity that it\u2019s going for. That\u2019s one of the biggest misunderstandings that I\u2019ve seen out there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adds Sankey: \u201cEnergy literacy is key, so that as a community and as leaders, you\u2019re armed with that information, because there is a lot of misinformation that has basically scared the crap out of everybody when you talk about oil and gas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He actively encourages Nations to work together. \u201cIf we\u2019re going to move forward, we need to be able to work together because if we don\u2019t solve what we\u2019re dealing with today&#8230; the next generation and the next generation is going be dealing with the mess that we left them. So it\u2019s important that we get it and have these tough discussions and don\u2019t be afraid to talk about energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always said: Together we\u2019re stronger&#8230;. Come together to break bread and sit down and have a cup of tea&#8230; and have a frank discussion. Because the only way we\u2019re going get through this is by having those tough discussions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mbarki agrees: \u201cThe more that we come together with each other, the more prosperity that we\u2019re going to bring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris Sankey is returning to IPSS in Vancouver and online on June 1st and 2nd, 2023.
