Indigenous engagement

Enbridge recognizes and honours Indigenous peoples' close relationship with the land and the environment. We are committed to building long-term relationships with the Nations, Tribes, governments and groups where we live and work over the lifecycle of our assets.

As a result, we are committed to forthright and sincere engagement with Indigenous people and Nations, Tribes, governments and groups that have interests in lands on which our assets are located.

Our consultation activities are guided by our Indigenous Peoples Policy, which is consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

We strive to develop mutual understanding through open, timely, two-way communication. Indigenous engagement can be the vital link that identifies the priorities and concerns of those who may be affected by our projects and operations, and the regulatory requirements we are subject to.

Enbridge’s approach to Indigenous engagement is based on our desire to build sustainable relationships that create value for both Indigenous peoples and our business. Our continued engagement with Indigenous Nations, Tribes, governments and groups and the implementation of our Indigenous Peoples Policy, signals respect for the legal and constitutional rights of Indigenous people in Canada and the United States.
