The group is participating in meetings with the Canadian government and has spoken with Project Reconciliation, another organization of First Nations that seeks to own the oil pipeline currently being expanded in Alberta and British Columbia, Travis Meguinis, chief executive officer of Natural Law, said by phone. Meguinis didn’t say how big a stake or how much the group aims to invest.
