Hadi, WELCOME TO THE FIRST NATIONS LNG SUMMIT! I would like to acknowledge the territory of the Lheidli T’enneh (translated as: people from the confluence of the two rivers Nechako and Fraser) where we are welcoming First Nations communities across British Columbia who are considering Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) proposals. Over the next two days I hope we can engage in dialogue between our First Nations communities and to start building relationships so as to develop the foundation for us to collectively to work together. Solidifying our internal relationships among our Nations should take precedence prior to negotiating with public governments or industry. As stewards of our territories and resources we have the responsibility to respect and take care of Mother Earth. LNG projects have direct and indirect impacts on our land and our people. Our decisions must be fully informed and our consent is required. We strive for a better understanding of how these projects impact our people upstream, along the pipeline routes, and along the coast. It is also important to discuss all aspects involved in developing infrastructure, such as those posed by gas wells, pipelines, and terminals. Lastly, we need to understand how increased LNG tanker traffic could affect our coastal First Nations communities. I hope all the delegates gain a better understanding of the overall issues, challenges, and opportunities that are posed with LNG projects as it relates to First Nations rights and title. To this end, I hope we can build strong relationships where we can openly discuss these issues about decisions that will effect generations to come. We have to make the right decision. We have to proclaim our authority as rightful owners of the land and to make a Free, Prior and Informed consent as affirmed in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. The Chiefs of the CSTC have taken the first steps in the process of solidifying our internal relationships by signing a First Nations Declaration to Work Together on Natural Gas Projects. I welcome other Nations to sign on if and when you feel comfortable. Snychulya, Terry Teegee, RPF Tribal Chief Carrier Sekani Tribal Council BC First Nations Summit | Page 3
