Indigenous Relations and Resource Management

Indigenous Relations and Resource Management involve working respectfully and collaboratively with Indigenous communities to oversee natural resources—like land, water, and minerals—responsibly. This includes honoring Indigenous rights, engaging in meaningful consultation, and sharing benefits fairly. The goal is to ensure resource development is environmentally sustainable, culturally sensitive, and economically beneficial for all parties. Effective management balances industry interests with Indigenous values and traditional knowledge, fostering trust, social well-being, and long-term stewardship of natural resources.
