蒙大拿部落就影响条约权利的未经咨询的跨界能源项目起诉不列颠哥伦比亚省。 Montana tribe sues British Columbia over unconsulted cross-border energy project impacting treaty rights.

蒙大拿邦联盟Salish和Kootenai部落已对不列颠哥伦比亚省政府提起诉讼,指控政府未就一个可能影响其祖传土地和条约权利的拟议基础设施项目与该部落协商。 The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of Montana have filed a lawsuit against the British Columbia government, alleging it failed to consult the tribe on a proposed infrastructure project that could impact their ancestral lands and treaty rights. 在美国联邦法院提起的法律诉讼以以下关切为焦点:该项目——与跨界能源倡议有关——是在没有充分参与的情况下制定的,违反了联邦与土著民族协商的义务。 The legal action, filed in a U.S. federal court, centers on concerns that the project—linked to a cross-border energy initiative—was developed without adequate engagement, violating federal obligations to consult Indigenous nations. 部落认为,缺乏协商损害了其主权和环境管理权。 The tribe argues the lack of consultation undermines their sovereignty and environmental stewardship rights.
