About Indigenous Engagement Blog Media PRODUCTS CERTIFICATION SUSTAINABILITY FIRST NATIONS RELATIONSHIPS Indigenous Engagement EQUITABLE COMMUNITY GROWTH Teal Jones takes great pride in our long history of co-management with First Nations and Indigenous Groups in British Columbia. We acknowledge the ancestral territories of all First Nations on which we operate and are committed to the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and Reconciliation. Teal Jones has a history that includes productive working relationships with 106 First Nations in B.C. Each relationship we form reflects the distinct interests of the individual First Nation. We believe that it is of paramount importance to work closely with our Indigenous partners to ensure your Nations’ success as well as our own. Economic and social wellbeing are our goals.

SUSTAINABILITY PARTNERSHIP OPTIONS From royalties to joint ventures and partnerships, Teal Jones puts relationships first. In a complex and evolving landscape, it is not our intention to tell you or your Nation what might be the best model of partnership. With humility we bring our success in business forward and discuss options. These are by no means the “only way” or exhaustive, but a point from which to start exploring equity options and positions in industry. We are excited to be a part of your process- growth, training and future economic benefits while stewarding the resource.
