“”Using a tribe’s governmental and legal status to create successful economic development.”
Indian Gaming is a great example of using a tribe’s governmental and legal status to create successful economic development. Twenty Three years after the legalization of Indian Gaming, tribes are looking for other ways to use their sovereign status and abundant resources to support their economic development initiatives and provide for their needs.
For centuries, Native Americans have been caring for Earth Mother and depending on her natural resources. Our Technology Partner, one of the largest solar manufactures in the world, is committed to Indian Country and has developed technology that will allow Native American Tribes to harness the energy of the sun and also create a revenue stream.
Harnessing renewable resources is on the rise in Indian Country. Solar has been a big part of that energy independent revolution. But up until now, solar projects on tribal lands have primarily been small, “Quality of Life” projects. Making life with electricity possible where it had not been available before or mitigating utility costs on tribal housing. The next wave of the Tribal Solar Revolution will usher in larger scale Tribal Solar Systems for Economic Development.
Indian tribes control more than 55 million acres of land across the nation, and those lands are capable of producing an estimated 17 trillion kilowatt hours per year from solar, or more than four times the amount of electricity generated annually in the U.S. according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Tribal Energy Program.
