The Aboriginal Pipeline Group was created in 2000 following meetings in Fort Liard and Fort Simpson. Thirty Aboriginal leaders from all regions of the Northwest Territories signed the resolution that created the APG and set its goals. The APG (Aboriginal Pipeline Group) represents the interests of Aboriginal people in the Northwest Territories in maximizing the ownership and benefits in a Mackenzie Valley natural gas pipeline. The main reason for creating APG was to offer a new model for Aboriginal participation in the developing economy, to maximize ownership and benefits from a proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline and to support greater independence and self-reliance among Aboriginal people. Through the Aboriginal Pipeline Group (also known as the Mackenzie Valley Aboriginal Pipeline Corporation), Aboriginal northerners are now in a position to maximize both ownership and benefits of a Mackenzie Valley natural gas pipeline. But that doesn't mean we are any less concerned about the protection of our land.
