The Fort Nelson First Nation (FNFN) is committed to engaging in good faith with those who wish to access our ancestral lands for the purposes of resource extraction and development. We have rights to our lands and a responsibility to our future generations to ensure that our lands will continue to sustain us until long after the resource industries have come and gone. In the meantime, FNFN aims to re-establish ourselves as a people—strong, healthy, proud and self-reliant—connected to our lands and our cultures. To that end, FNFN wishes to ensure that industrial development in our territory occurs in a coordinated and responsible manner that balances the benefits of development with the impacts to our land and our community.

Cumulative Impacts

Much of the Fort Nelson First Nation ancestral lands have been modified intensively over the last century. This modification, predominantly by forestry and energy industries, is accelerating. Rarely do we stop to examine the whole picture of the impacts of these modifications. As stewards of our land, we have the responsibility to take this wide and long term view. This page shows an updated map of industrial activity in our traditional territory. Learn More About Cumulative Impacts
