ID # Document Section and Page # Comment FAFN-001 The Draft EA/IS The Draft EA/IS The Draft EA/IS proposes general Indigenous involvement in future monitoring and decision- making but does not outline, define, or resource a specific role for Indigenous Nations in long- term project governance. This generalized approach falls short of meaningful consultation and accommodation standards, and it fails to align with best practices for Indigenous participation in project oversight and environmental stewardship, particularly in a culturally and ecologically sensitive region. It also fails to explain how Indigenous Knowledge systems will be integrated into monitoring design, evaluation criteria, or adaptive decision-making. Please revise the EA/IS to include the following: 1.A commitment to the co-development of a project oversight and monitoring body with guaranteed participation for impacted Indigenous Nations. 2.Funding and support for Indigenous-led monitoring ...
