Pipelines, energy and natural resources

Your post made me try to find a map of the areas covered under Treaty. While I'm familiar with Treaty 8, 7 and 6 and was aware of the Nisinga Treaty trying to find a map of all of them together is a challange.

This is the best one I found so far:

Map - Yellowhead Institute Treaty Map

The Treaty Map The Yellowhead Treaty Map is an accessible introduction to Indigenous perspectives on treaties in Canada. It describes the context, negotiation process and terms of treaties – as well as the implications of failing to honor them. Check out the About page to learn more about each...

There is also sigificant work going on in BC with many other communities:

End of the day when I look from Treaty 8 in NE BC towards the Nisinga Treaty lands in NW BC....it's a relatively small gap of divided opinions and a much small group of bands than the rest of the province. And that's where the duty to consult and if required, compensate for impacts, rests.

One error in my past post. The duty to consult still applies under treaty lands but is more formalized processes and points of contact.

B.C. Premier Eby says lifting the tanker ban would sink billions in 'real' projects​

SURREY — Lifting the oil tanker ban off British Columbia's North Coast for a nonexistent pipeline from Alberta would endanger billions in other real investments that Premier David Eby says will need the support of coastal First Nations.

"This is a pretty straightforward issue for British Columbia," Eby said. "The oil tanker ban off the coast is the social licence with First Nations along the coast to be able to do significant economic development in the region," he said on Tuesday at an unrelated news conference.

Eby said he's asking the federal government to reaffirm its support for the tanker ban off the West Coast, after Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday that lifting the ban would depend on a number of factors.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has been calling for the repeal of the tanker ban as part of her government's proposal to build an oil pipeline to the coast in a pitch it plans to make to the Major Projects Office by next spring.

But Eby said scrapping the ban would jeopardize approval from coastal First Nations for mines and energy and other projects that represent up to $60 billion in capital investments.

Step 1: Kill the forest industry in your own province using classic socialist anti-business policies

Step 2: Complain to the federal government that Canada is ignoring you

This is the Canadian way

If that's actually true, it's past time to push through unreasonable obstructionism. "Nothing more after we get enough for ourselves" is no principle on which to pursue economic development.
