Partnership between
Stellat’en First Nation, Nadleh Whut’en and Innergex
Powering a cleaner future
with lasting benefits that respect the land, culture, and community.
A project by Stellat’en First Nation and Nadleh Whut’en, for the community
On Yinka Dene territory, together Stellat’en First Nation and Nadleh Whut’en are leading the Ni Ti Mountain Wind Project. With Innergex as a partner, this wind project will generate lasting benefits for the community. The partnership is also committed to realizing the project in order to generate clean, renewable electricity while respecting the land, culture, and community.
The meaning of Ni Ti
The name Ni Ti, means “Road to the North,” in the Dakelh language.
The project logo tells a similar story: it was created through a community contest and inspired by pictographs found in the Fraser Lake area. The logo proudly includes the words Ni Ti in Dakelh syllabics, grounding the project in local culture and history.

Partnership
Collaboration and trust guide our work with the Stellat’en First Nation, Innergex, and local stakeholders.
Transparency & Engagement
We are committed to open communication and meaningful engagement with the community throughout the project’s development.
Reconciliation and clean energy
As a majority Indigenous-owned project with shared governance and decision-making, the Ni Ti Mountain Wind Project reflects an approach to development grounded in partnership and self-determination.
The project aligns with the spirit of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action 92, which calls on corporations to adopt the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) as a framework for reconciliation and to apply it to decisions involving Indigenous lands and resources. It also reflects UNDRIP Articles 20, 26, 29, and 32, which affirm Indigenous peoples’ rights to pursue economic development and determine priorities for development on their lands.
By working together, the partners are demonstrating that conservation and clean energy development do not need to be in opposition. The Ni Ti Mountain Wind Project shows how reconciliation, conservation, and renewable energy can advance together.
Respecting the land, culture, and community
Learn how the Ni Ti Mountain Wind Project studies guide decision-making to shape the best possible project layout, balancing archaeological, cultural, environmental, technical, and community considerations. By building on previously disturbed lands, supporting habitat restoration and engaging with local community, the project minimizes environmental impacts while honoring the land, Indigenous culture, and community priorities.
Lasting Benefits for the Community
During operations phase (30 year EPA term), the project will deliver clean energy while supporting long term revenue sharing with Stellat’en and Nadleh Whut’en and providing ongoing tax contributions to the Regional District of Bulkley Nechako. In addition to these benefits, the region will experience economic growth through the creation of 250 construction jobs during the peak of construction and 5–10 permanent operational jobs, along with several contracting opportunities for local and Indigenous businesses. Through the integration of local procurement, employment opportunities, and community driven initiatives, the project bolsters community resilience and overall, well being.
