Haisla Nation’s 10-Year Fight, Finding the Right Partner, & Dismissive Investors, ft. Chief Crystal Smith, P2

In this second episode featuring Chief Crystal Smith, Chief Councillor of the Haisla Nation since 2013, we delve into the Cedar LNG project—a visionary initiative more than a decade in the making. Learn how the Haisla leadership team successfully attracted investors—some of whom valued Indigenous communities as equal partners, while others did not. Pembina emerged as the winning partner. Today, this project stands as a global benchmark for investments involving Indigenous communities.
