Tsawout First Nation Case Study

503 Words3 Pages

Out of six First Nation groups, we agree Lower Kootenay Band to be the most favorable one to propose our wind energy project to after discussing with my group members. They have a very open territory of 6,000 acres, and a small population. Currently, they are seeking “Clean Energy Opportunities” and our business fits right in the criteria. The reason we did not choose Hesquiaht and Tsawout First Nation is because both are located on Vancouver Island with relatively denser population and many tourists. Ferries and ships occupy the sea nearby, almost impossible to develop offshore wind turbines. As for Stellat’en First Nation, it seems to be the most economically developed among all six nations and Forst Nelson is way up in the North of B.C which both transportation and construction cost are high. Yet personally, I think we have the best shot nailing this business with the Metlakatla First Nation. …show more content…

The population is only 889 with over 700 residing off reserves, and it is still predominantly Anglican. The “old part” of Metlakatla remained at their territory on the coast of northern B.C near Prince Rupert while the others moved to Alaska after the split. Currently, Metlakatla is not quite developed; most of its natural environment and tradition has been kept the way it is. They rely on boats and ferry as primary transportation. Metlakatla faces challenges planning for their future due to their landscape and has a high need of economic development. They are willing to do business with corporations as long as their vision can be achieved. Metlakatla First Nation shows a prospective potency in economic development with rich land and natural resources, and the fierce and consistent wind along the coast makes Metlakatla an ideal site to develop offshore winder energy

    As with all expeditions to the New World the reasons vary. Some came from across the sea in the hopes of finding riches or glory, others came to spread religion or to follow their own religion without proscoucation. Whatever the reason, all those who eventually made it through the first few years had something in common, support and numbers.
