Welcome to the First Edition of
the First Nations Environmental Assessment Toolkit.
--------------------------------
This toolkit was developed by the First Nations Environmental Assessment Technical
Working Group (FNEATWG).
The purpose of this toolkit is to assist First Nations in British Columbia (BC)
whose Aboriginal rights and title and treaty rights may be affected by a project
undergoing an EA. This toolkit is designed primarily for First Nations leadership,
employees and communities. It is meant to provide information and practical advice
that will help First Nations participate effectively in EA processes. It is hoped
that this toolkit will help your First Nation develop strategies and decision-making
processes that benefit your community and result in favourable outcomes from
EAs.

The document is written primarily from a First Nation perspective. However,
it also provides information on the perspectives of other participants
in the
EA process including project proponents, government regulators and decision-makers.
