I am a First Nation person working as a manager at a salmon farm near my home town of Alert Bay. ​In Canada, the Government (“Crown”) has a duty to consult with First Nation governments, and if Indigenous rights may be infringed upon, there may be accommodation granted. This consultation process must be thorough and consider local values, community benefits, environmental risks, and most importantly, must be about facts. Through meaningful consultation, I have seen neighbouring bands and individuals learn about, and accept the risks and benefits from participating in salmon aquaculture. He is site manager at Midsummer salmon farm.
