Native Wind Powering America
![]() |
From our short video watch |
Native American tribes in the nation’s
heartland have launched an unprecedented drive to harness the
inexhaustible wind resources of the Great Plains, to generate
renewable power and help stop global warming.
Here's how you can help:
Support
the building of tribal wind projects
Buy
green tags from Native Energy. (Here's
how)
Green tags finance the development of renewable energy projects.
Request
your local utility to buy tribal renewable energy.
Encourage
your Congressional Representatives to support tribal renewable
energy and the addition of tribal wind to our national grid - Western Area Power Administration or WAPA.
Initial tribal wind projects are underway
in the Dakotas:
110 MWs of renewable wind energy are
on the intertribal drawing boards, with 30MWs
at Rosebud Sioux reservation, and an 80MW project to be distributed
on eight reservations along the Missiouri River. These
carbon-free resources will conserve water, enhance
downwind air quality, and build sustainable reservation
economies that broaden contemporary tribal opportunities. More
