Indigenous involvement in the energy sector and new technology can fight poverty and climate change at the same time

You cannot lead a major change in the natural resources sector without bringing the affected industry and Indigenous people to the table.Article content We are currently going through two transitions.

That change starts here at home, with the federal government.
