Indigenous Energy Initiative (IEI) is an Indigenous-led team of some of the nation’s foremost experts in clean energy finance, policy, technology, workforce training education, supporting tribes in their self-determined pursuit of energy sovereignty. IEI offers culturally-sensitive capacity-building guidance to tribes to ensure a just and equitable transition away from extractive energy. Leveraging the regenerative power of clean energy as a means to diminish poverty, mitigate climate change, and promote economic development, the overarching goal of IEI is to promote self-reliance and a true sense of hope in tribal communities.
