Indigenous leaders and Indigenous-led organizations are initiating and decolonizing renewable energy. Their practices offer much-needed effective, sustainable alternatives to resource extraction, but funding continues to be inequitable.

What is Tribal Energy Sovereignty, and why is it important amidst Just Transition and Clean Energy Movements?
