Exposed: Coastal First Nations is an NGO — not an Indigenous group!
by Sheila Gunn Reid
This organization sits at the centre of an environmental NGO ecosystem that has spent years obstructing Canada’s oil and gas sector.
Mark Carney just met in Prince Rupert, B.C. with a group called Coastal First Nations, and the mainstream media treated it like routine consultation with Indigenous leadership.
It wasn’t. He gave them a veto on a pipeline. But there's something you may not know. Coastal First Nations is not a First Nation government. It is not a treaty body. It is not elected under Indigenous or Canadian law. It is a BC-registered non-profit advocacy organization whose influence comes from funding and political access, not democratic mandate.
That matters, because this organization sits at the centre of an environmental NGO ecosystem that has spent years obstructing Canada’s oil and gas sector.
