The pipes will make money for Enbridge but will affect the First Nations people negatively.

The Nak’azdli people have been living peacefully with nature for many years, however, Enbridge is planning to invade their territory. With the launch of their project, Northern Gateway, Enbridge plans to build a pipeline from Bruderheim, Alberta to Kitimat, British Columbia. The pipeline will run through the land of many First Nations people and as a result, the pipline has brought up a lot of controversy. Enbridge is faced with both political and social obstruction because the Canadian government has made a promises to the First Nations people in the past and therefore cannot allow companies to do as they please when they are on First Nation territory. Additionally, the social pressure from the First Nations communities are overwhelming enough to make Enbridge reconsider their actions. Adding on, the social pressure of First Nation supporters who go and rally and protest will cause a lot of social pressure. Enbridge is a very good example of what companies may have to deal with when they are expanding around First Nation’s land or territory.  In the case, Enbridge wanted to save money to cut costs but they probably paid more than they saved; many companies try and cut costs but end up being fined more than they stole. The First Nations people want to protect their sacred land but Enbridge wants to make more money, so in the end, Enbridge will probably push the First Nations people until they give up or are financiially unable to continue the case.
