First Majority Indigenous-Owned Port Opens | Vancouver News

A major milestone for Indigenous economic sovereignty: the Portland Canal Marine Terminal in Stewart, B.C., is now open — and it’s majority Indigenous-owned, a joint venture between the Nisg̱a’a and Tahltan Nations and Arrow Transportation Systems. Designed to ship critical minerals like copper concentrate from northwest B.C.’s booming mining sector to global markets, this is the province’s first majority Indigenous port. Backed by $5 million from the provincial government and an additional $672,000 in federal funding for expansion, the terminal promises to fuel local economies, create jobs, and strengthen regional infrastructure as mining activity in the “golden triangle” surges.
