Weaving two worlds’ looks at economic reconciliation between Indigenous people and the resource sector – Welland Tribune
March 14, 2022
A new book by an Indigenous leader and a resource industry executive lays-out their vision for a new way forward: one in which the resource sector plays a meaningful role in advancing reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.
Weaving two worlds, written by K’ómoks First Nation member and vice-president of Indigenous and stakeholder engagement at Falkirk Environmental Consultants, Christy Smith, and the founding partner and co-chair of Falkirk and past president and CEO of the Mining Association of B.C., Michael McPhie, is a call for change, as the resource sector’s relationship with Indigenous people has often been marked by protests, distrust, and anger.
Smith and McPhie offer their two voices of two worlds—Indigenous and non-Indigenous—to deliver insights, knowledge and guidance from their decades of work between resources companies and Indigenous communities.
