What makes this agreement so compelling is its attempt to use a moderate, step-by-step approach to complex projects. The setup is designed to allow for early collaboration between the First Nations representatives and industry proponents followed by a gradual, phased approach to decision making as projects develop. It means trying to tackle one decision at a time rather than trying to imagine and agree on an entire project in one go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement between the province and the five member communities of the Nlaka\u2019pamux Nation Tribal Council involves setting up a board that will lead this process, with an immediate focus on forestry and mining. Nlaka\u2019pamux territory – covering territories surrounding Ashcroft, Boston Bar and Yale – includes Teck Resources\u2019 Highland Valley Copper Mine, which employs 900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The province is clearly hoping this new model will be a success, investing just over half a million dollars for the 18-month pilot project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s of course far too early to tell if this new setup will help resolve conflicts stemming from First Nations\u2019 deep-rooted and legitimate concerns regarding resource development in their territories. But seeing some innovation in this area is very welcome, and we wish the project the best of luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
