Employment
TMP is about helping Native America and part of that help is toward putting
Native Americans back to work. TMP
will create thousands of jobs for Native peoples over the life-time of the
project (directly or indirectly).
Additionally, TMP will increase commerce and goodwill for Native peoples businesses through cultural
exposure and openness that fosters community-to-national level understanding
and compassion for Native peoples and their unique and prized cultures.
TMP Employment Opportunities
Priority is given to Native Americans
from federally recognized tribes who are tribal members in good standing. For
operations in Canada, First Nations People are given priority under the same
guidelines. However, all candidates will be considered per state and federal
laws. KTI
does not discriminate on the bases of race, gender, religion, ethnicity, or
other aspects, however, indigenous cultures are granted additional rights to
employment under federal laws that may or may not additionally qualify them for preferential
treatment.
All
candidates must be qualified for the positions offered to be considered.
*Terminology
We use the term Native
People (NP) in the purely anthropological sense to denote "aboriginal
people of the world, which includes a wide variety of self-descriptive
nomenclatures, including Canada's First Nations People, Native Americans, and
many others of the American continents and Pacific Island groups and places of
the world. When more specific descriptions are used, they will include current
country of origin or commonly known tribal names (i.e. Mohawks of the Bay of
Quinte, Dine, etc.).
