Partnership before site selection.
The corridor crosses the territories and interests of multiple Indigenous Nations. A map marker is not a land right and a screening node is not consent.
Five project rules
Engage before land control is treated as final
Nation engagement should begin while sites are alternatives, not after engineering has made relocation expensive.
Offer economic participation
Options can include equity, revenue participation, long-term service contracts, training commitments, heat/food benefits and infrastructure co-investment.
Protect cultural and ecological values
Archaeology, water, fisheries, wildlife, cumulative effects and cultural-use information must inform site screening and routing.
Respect Nation-specific governance
There is no single consultation template for the entire corridor. Each Nation has its own government, laws, priorities and technical capacity.
Publish what is agreed — and protect what is confidential
Community benefit commitments should be auditable while sensitive cultural information remains protected.
This website does not claim endorsement, consent or partnership from any Indigenous Nation. Those relationships must be established directly.
