5 Coastal First Nations/Turning Point Unknown • Pending Engagement • N/A Initiative/Great Bear Initiative NOTES: 1 This table is based on the Aboriginal groups engaged by Northern Gateway listed in the Application, Volume 5A, Table 2-1. Names are as shown on the Indian and Northern Affairs (INAC) website (http://www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/index-eng.asp), and where names were not available on the INAC website, the names are as shown on the website of a particular Aboriginal group. Names were also sourced from the Alberta and British Columbia Métis Internet sites. Alternate names of Aboriginal groups appear in brackets. 2 Aboriginal groups are organized according to the same regional breakdown as in Volume 5A. This breakdown includes Aboriginal groups in the geographical area where the larger, regional association is located, and not necessarily where the group itself is located. Note that in this table, the order in which the Aboriginal groups are listed is the same as the order of presentation in the Update to Volume 5A, rather than that in the Application. 3 The ATK program has generally been scoped and conducted on a community-specific basis. Some exceptions are noted below. Study Type Explanation: Collaborative – ATK information is gathered through collaborative work undertaken by Northern Gateway’s ATK team the Aboriginal group. Independent – ATK information is provided directly by the Aboriginal group through preparing an independent community report. Unknown – Scoping discussions have yet to take place, or are ongoing. As a result, the type of study to be undertaken has not yet been determined. Not Applicable – ATK study was offered and later withdrawn 1) due to the lapse in time or non-activity of the study or 2) Aboriginal group declined the ATK offer or 3) the offer was made to the Aboriginal group versus an organization that the specific Aboriginal group is affiliated with. 5 Program Status Explanation: Pending engagement – discussions have not yet taken place regarding the nature and scope of an ATK study. Northern Gateway will continue to offer these Aboriginal groups the opportunity to prepare an ATK community report, if such a report is considered appropriate for the Application (see the Application, Volume 5A). Scoping – ATK facilitators are working with the Aboriginal group to determine the scope and parameters of the ATK report. Underway – The ATK budget is approved and work is in progress. Completed – The report is completed but has not been through a community review and sign-off process, or has not yet been shared with Northern Gateway. Released –The report is through the community review and sign-off process and is available upon request, subject to consent from the Aboriginal group. Update Underway – Results of the ATK community report are being reviewed to confirm that they are consistent with more recent Project information. Scoping update – Northern Gateway and the Aboriginal group are discussing the scope of a report update (if determined to be required). Update Completed – The report update is complete, but has not been through the community review and sign-off process, or has not yet been shared with Northern Gateway. Update Released – The report update is through the community review and sign-off process and is available upon request, subject to consent from the Aboriginal group. 6 Grande Cache Métis Local #1994 is also part of the Métis Regional Council Zone IV of the Métis Nation of Alberta and has not been released. 7 Scoping discussions for Grande Prairie Métis Local #1990 and Valleyview Métis Local #1929 are underway through Region VI Regional Council, Métis Nation of Alberta 8 The following Nations were included in the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council ATK study (Carrier Sekani Tribal Council, 2006): Burns Lake Band (Ts’il Kaz Koh First Nation), Nadleh Whut’en Band, Saik’uz First Nation, Wet’suwet’en First Nation, Takla Lake First Nation, and Tl’azt’en Nation. 9 The Métis Nation of British Columbia ATK study includes: New Caledonia Métis Association (North Central Region), Prince George Métis Community Association, Northwest BC Métis Association (Northwest Region 6, Métis Nation of British Columbia), Tri-River Métis Association (Northwest Region 6, Métis Nation of British Columbia), and Northeast Métis Association.
