"In its latest update on the project, the US company PROENERGY says that on September 17th, it made a presentation to the nine Chiefs and Mi’kmaq Elder of Mi’gmawe’l Tplu’taqnn Inc. (MTI), the non-profit organization that represents Mi’kmaq First Nations communities in New Brunswick.
It says the presentation was followed by “engaged dialogue” and that the Chiefs understand PROENERGY will continue with its Environmental Impact Assessment process as well as supporting a Mi’gmaq Rights Impact Assessment to gauge potential effects on Mi’gmaq Aboriginal and Treaty Rights.
“This allowed the MTI technical team to visually see and walk the grounds as well as have the Elder conduct a tobacco offering while at the site,” the company update continues."
