This is the website of the Malaysian oil company Petronas, which offered the Lax Kw’alaams tribe over a billion dollars to use their land, and were turned down. If you have ever been to Kuala Lumpur, then you have seen their huge twin towers that dominate the city. This website is very slick, offering wordy sections on how good this company is for the environment, communities etc. In their reports, they emphasize their willingness to work with the local First Nations tribes of BC which, as far as I can tell, they have been doing.
