Indigenous leaders demand consultation before Teck-Anglo American merger approved, citing rights and title concerns.
First Nations leaders in British Columbia, including the Osoyoos Indian Band and UBCIC Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, are urging the federal and provincial governments to block the proposed $50–70 billion merger between Teck Resources and Anglo American unless Indigenous communities are meaningfully consulted.
They argue that the deal, which includes $4.5 billion in Canadian investments and potential smelter expansions, could impact Indigenous rights and title without free, prior, and informed consent.
The Osoyoos Indian Band warns of potential legal and political challenges if consultation does not occur, emphasizing that decisions affecting their lands must include title holders.
The merger remains under review under Canada’s Investment Canada Act.
