Photo courtesy First Nations Major Projects Coalition Indigenous communities: Miawpukek First Nation, First Nations Major Projects Coalition The B.C.-based First Nations Major Projects Coalition and Miawpukek First Nation on Canada’s East Coast are working together on the first-ever Indigenous equity participation in an Atlantic offshore project, called LNG Newfoundland and Labrador. First LNG shipped to Europe from the $10-billion project is targeted for 2030, meeting growing demand for low-emission natural gas and, potentially, clean hydrogen. “Our inclusion in this project is historical, transformational, and an example of how the offshore energy industry, Canada, and Newfoundland and Labrador are truly embracing and giving effect to reconciliation,” said Miawpukek First Nation Chief Misel Joe. KANATA CarbonHub Indigenous communities: Frog Lake First Nations #121 & #122, Kehewin Cree Nation and in the future other participating Treaty Six First Nations Leaders representing Treaty Six First Nations in Alberta are proposing an Indigenous-led carbon capture and storage (CCS) hub located on their traditional territory. The communities are partnered in the proposed project with Kanata Clean Power & Climate Technol- ogies Corp. and Vault 44.01 Ltd. It is initially proposed by Frog Lake First Nations #121 & #122 and Kehewin Cree Nation, but it is expected their majority ownership stake will be opened to other Treaty Six First Nations as the development progresses.
