In the heart of Nak’azdli territory, there is a steely resolve — the people are firmly against Northern Gateway

In the article, the Nak’azdli people have said that they will not want the pipelines to be built into their homeland,  they are most worried about the effect an oil spill would have on sockeye salmon and the Nechako white sturgeon as it may damage their livelihood. From my point of view i think the Nak’azdli people shoulder consider their traditions and roots or the future of their people. This can be seen as an external factor relating to the business because of how it is not within the control of the business. Even though i think the people in BC would side with the Nak’azdli people and agree that not building the pipeline is the right decisions, this will greatly affect the economy in the short run as many opportunity to do business aboard through oil is missed, however i believe in the long run this is benefiting BC as it still has its valuable resources when needed as well as helping to preserve the environment. As we see the world slowly starting to move towards a more environmentally aware. I think instead of just trying to mine out the oil, they should try and invest in renewable energy sources as it is a better alternative to building the pipes and it doesn’t interrupt with the Nak’azdli people.
