No pipeline for Enbridge Posted on October 5, 2014 by kiannab Enbridge wants to run an oil pipeline in the heart of the Nak’azdli territory, but the Yinka Dene Alliance will not allow it. The possibility of an oil spill would destroy much of their wildlife, which is a source of food for their community. The need and demand for oil is increasing so this project could make a lot of revenue. In order to prevent any damange, Enbridge promises to install shut off valves to minimize any spillage that could occur. However, even with precaution the First Nations are still opposed to the idea of sacrificing their land. This is how an example of how Enbridge has barriers to entry because they cannot begin work without the Nak’azdli support. The risk of loosing their land due to an oil spill is too high to let Enbridge expand their company and build a pipeline.
