Module 3 Post #3

I came across this website titled First Nations in British Columbia http://fnbc.info/our-cultures . There is a wealth of information on the website from:

–          Our People

–          Our Culture

–          Leadership & Governance

–          Economic Development

–          Natural Resources

–          Community and Development

–          Spot light on Community

From this site I found a link to an article written by the Globe http://fnbc.info/how-b-school-helping-aboriginal-startups that discusses how first nation communities in BC are positioned to participate in the mineral and exploration boom. The below quote from Lewington (2013) outlines this opportunity.

“a stunning list of economic development projects worth more than $60-billion are on the books in northwestern British Columbia, a region that covers about one-third of the province. The region is also home to more than 20 First Nation communities, potential allies with industry and government that lies ahead.”
