Miigwech / Phidamáya
— You Made the 2nd Annual Tribal Energy Forum Amazing!

On behalf of the Tribal Advocacy Council on Energy (TACE), Native Sun Community Power Development, and the Lower Sioux Indian Community – Čaŋšayápi, we extend our deepest gratitude for your presence, partnership, and dedication at the 2nd Annual Tribal Energy Forum.

 

You were truly amazing, and your active participation, insights, and engagement made a profound and lasting difference. Under our shared theme, "Empowering Sustainable Futures Through Energy Sovereignty — Sovereign Energy for the Next Seven Generations," we exchanged vital knowledge, forged strategic regional partnerships, and advanced Indigenous energy independence and leadership across our Tribal Nations.

​

Forum Highlights & Continued Collaboration

  • Outdoor Clean Energy Showcase: Experience hands-on interactive demonstrations celebrating Tribal energy sovereignty and community engagement through electric fleet vehicle walkthroughs, zero-emission solar watercraft, innovative micromobility solutions, and sustainable off-grid tiny home living designs tailored for Tribal community infrastructure.

  • Impactful Keynotes, Sessions & Strategic Panels: Featuring inspiring keynote presentations and engaging in-depth dialogues rooted in Tribal sovereignty and active community engagement—spanning sustainable building materials like industrial hempcrete housing applications, resilient community microgrids, geothermal heat pump technologies, workforce training pipelines, high-voltage transmission grid access, and strategies for navigating complex data center energy policies and growing power demands.

  • Community Connection & Networking: Facilitating meaningful relationship-building and active engagement across Tribal leadership, state regulatory agencies, regional utilities, industry exhibitors, clean tech innovators, and passionate community advocates to uphold and advance Tribal energy sovereignty.

 

Celebrate the powerful connections and community spirit.
