Aligning the resource and energy industry to Indigenous peoples’ values, knowledge and protocol for mutual benefit
Relations with Indigenous communities must go beyond piece-meal community engagement. Nations effected by industry operations must gain opportunities beyond labouring jobs and local procurement.
