The company emphasizes collaboration with Indigenous communities and local stakeholders to ensure that the project benefits all parties involved. 
NovaGold’s approach to community engagement involves supporting initiatives in education, community wellness, cultural preservation, and environmental stewardship, particularly within the Yukon-Kuskokwim (Y-K) Region where the Donlin Gold project is located.
