“C Hydro wants to construct and operate a dam and 1,100-megawatt hydroelectric generating station on the Peace River in northeastern British Columbia.” 

The site C clean energy is an $8 billion project on the peace river in the north east BC. This plant could power 450,000 houses each year with clean and cost effective energy. The only problem is its impact on the First Nation population in the area. This project would flood 83 kilometres of the peace river thus taking wildlife and farmland away from the first nations. They would not be able to fish, hunt or use the area for ceremonial purposes. The chiefs explain how they would support smaller projects but for now, they don’t see a need for a project of this proportion. Logan, a chief said ““It’s our church, it’s our store, it’s our school. We have elders’ gatherings there annually.” 

Referring to the “Business Model Environment,” the revenue attractiveness is extremely high. According to the report published by the company itself, this project will contribute $3.2 billion to the provincial GDP. The issue falling industry forces is stakeholders. The First National people in this case are major stakeholders of this project. They have inhabited this land and have developed a connection to it. Giving it up would mean everything to them. “The deep connection to the Land is vital to First Nations. The relationship between the People and the Land is an integral component of First Nations governance. The authority and identity of the Nations come from and are tied to the Land.”
