The Haisla Nation, Lax Kw’alaams Band, Nisga’a Nation and Metlakatla First Nation (FNCI Nations) are calling upon the Provincial, Federal and other First Nations Governments as well as the private sector and civil society organizations to join them in bold new action to mitigate climate change and alleviate poverty within their and other First Nation communities, transforming them into cornerstones of the regional economy of the future. They believe that coordinated policy development and public and private sector investment will not only help recover the economy from the COVID-19 crisis but will set the stage for a low carbon future where First Nations take their rightful place in the economy as critical actors.
The policy development proposals outlined in this discussion framework and the investment plan that follows it are aimed at achieving this vision. The proposals are expected to continue to evolve as other levels of Government, other First Nations, and non-government actors join in this initiative to turn words into immediate and meaningful action.
