Opinion: Dome and the Lax Kw’alaam found a successful process through which the Band was able to support the LNG project without being concerned that its position on land claims was being impaired.…

It was the early 1980s and the land claims of B.C.’s many First Nations were much in the news. UNDRIP was still to come.

As an 88-year-old long-time resident of B,C. and one who has observed Indigenous relationships from direct involvement in several, from the Western LNG Project to the B.C. Treaty Commission when it began, I want to congratulate them for the communications initiative they have taken. That should help everyone understand better the potential benefits for all British Columbians from this step.

The Western LNG project involved proposed investment of $4 billion to transport surplus Canadian natural gas to Japan through pipeline, liquefaction and deep-sea shipping facilities. Its principal proponent was Dome Petroleum of Calgary, in partnership with the Japanese trading company Nissho Iwai. The First Nation involved is the Lax Kw’alaams of Port Simpson, a coastal village on the Tsimpsean Indian Reserve land 30 kilometres north of Prince Rupert.
