“I’m confident that this agreement will build a new relationship between the Cheslatta Carrier Nation and Rio Tinto based on the principles of reconciliation and active partnership. There is another related component to this comprehensive agreement. Cheslatta businesses will have a preference for contracting and procurement opportunities with Rio Tinto. This will promote economic development in our community and build our capacity and confidence. The goal is to secure our self-sufficiency thereby ensuring that Cheslatta will never again be dependent on handouts.”
