Indigenous Partnerships
We know meaningful Indigenous partnerships are critical to successful project development and long-term stewardship. Northland has a strong track record of working alongside Indigenous and First Nations communities to create shared value, economic participation, and lasting benefits.
We are committed to acting with integrity and respect for local and Indigenous communities by:
- Engaging early and consistently with communities throughout the full project lifecycle
- Investing in programs that preserve and strengthen local and Indigenous culture, heritage, language and values
- Identifying and managing potential impacts on communities
- Building meaningful partnerships with communities, governments and financial institutions
- Supporting local and Indigenous employment, procurement and supply chains
- Providing dedicated community liaison support at every stage of each project
- Backing initiatives that improve quality of life and reflect community priorities
- Strengthening our people’s understanding of local and Indigenous cultures and traditions
Our approach to Indigenous partnerships is exemplified through our collaboration with the Six Nations Group and the Mississaugas of the Credit Business Corporation on the Oneida Energy Storage project. Together, we advanced a project that reflected our shared priorities—enabling meaningful participation, supporting community leadership, and creating long-term economic opportunity. From early engagement through development, the partnership has been guided by mutual respect, transparency, and a shared vision for success. It is built on trust and a commitment to creating lasting value for our partners and the communities we serve, both today and for the future.
