Answer: "No."
Most #CriticalMinerals are on #IndigenousLands. Will miners respect #TribalSovereignty?
by Taylar Dawn Stagner, March 26, 2025
"#Mining — whether for #FossilFuels or, increasingly, the critical minerals in high demand today — has a long history of perpetuating violence against #IndigenousPeople. Forcibly removing tribal communities to get to natural resources tied to their homelands has been the rule, not the exception, for centuries.
"Today, more than half of the mineral deposits needed for a global energy transition — including #lithium, #cobalt, #copper, and #nickel to make things like #batteries and #SolarPanels — are found near or beneath Indigenous lands.
"In 2007, the United Nations adopted a resolution called the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [#UNDRIP] that included the right to free, prior, and informed consent to the use of their lands, a concept known as #FPIC. This principle protects #IndigenousPeoples from being forcibly relocated, provides suitable avenues for redress of past injustices, and gives tribes and communities the right to consent to — and the right to refuse — #extractive industry projects like #mining.
"There’s a lot at stake: When followed, FPIC promises a process that gives Indigenous peoples a voice in how their homelands are used, as well as the right to say no to development altogether. And when it’s not, which is the vast majority of the time, #TribalCommunities are further #disenfranchised, facing #violence and #ForcedRelocation as their #sovereignty and rights are ignored.
"There are an estimated 5,000 tribal communities around the world, encompassing roughly 476 million people across 90 countries, according to the U.N. Different tribes have different opinions on mining, but rarely is their legal right to refuse extraction projects recognized, even under the 2007 declaration.
"Grist talked with five experts to better understand what free, prior, and informed consent should look like in this new era of mineral extraction. Their responses have been edited for length and clarity."

Trudeau was criticized by some who thought his policies somehow acquiesced to every demand by any First Nation. But really what his Ministry did first was show that there was a way of communication of respect and dialogue.
Clearly the new Federal Minister of Energy has some learning to do if he wants the Federal government to have any chance at a relationship that results in them achieving any of the government's goals.

To fix the climate, simply empower #Indigenous people
by Kiki Taufik, 10 Nov 2025
"Climate change is the defining issue of our age. While nations search for complex technological solutions at this year’s high-stakes climate meeting in the Amazon city of #Belém, a simpler yet powerful answer has been waiting in the wings. I saw it firsthand in the forests of #WestPapua’s Bird’s Head Peninsula in the company of #IndigenousYouth from the Amazon, the #CongoBasin, and #Borneo.
"They showed me a truth that the world has been overlooking: one of the most effective climate solutions lies in empowering Indigenous people.
"In this way, we can prevent an immense amount of carbon emissions from #deforestation and preserve priceless #biodiversity and all the benefits we reap from it. It’s a strategy that more than pays for itself."

“Redwashing is the gap between a company’s marketing and its reality. A company cannot ‘redwash’ its operations by sponsoring a community festival while simultaneously ignoring its duty to obtain consent on a project.”

Groups living in voluntary isolation have “minimal to no contact with those outside of their own group,” said Dr. Subhra Bhattacharjee, director general of the Forest Stewardship Council & an #IndigenousRights expert based in Germany. “A simple cold that you & I recover from in a week…they could die of that cold.”
Beyond disease, contact can destroy livelihoods & belief systems. #InternationalLaw requires free, prior & informed consent — known as #FPIC — before any activity on #IndigenousLands.

Development of a gold mine in Cat Lake First Nation traditional territory was paused for the nation’s own environmental assessment of a project that could impact hunting, fishing and treaty rights for at least 100 years, said the chief.
But then Ontario granted the mining company a permit to build a road to the mine site, sending the nation off to court to bring a stop to construction.

Current regime “simply wrong.”
A court has given British Columbia 18 months to change its mineral staking regime to ensure that consultation with Indigenous nations is done prior to transferring away their rights to minerals to a third party, as the process is now.
A lawyer with one First Nation says the ruling has national implications.

Murchison Minerals has been served an eviction notice not once, but twice by the Innu government for Uashat mak Mani-utenam.
The area the mining company states it is “eager” to explore is in Innu territory. Despite the “sheer number of high priority targets” identified and the “huge potential” of the Nickel-Copper-Cobalt project in Quebec, the Innu are determined to keep Murchison out.

“…just another unlawful attempt to continue the province’s deliberate abuse and exploitation of our peoples, lands, territories, and resources.”
