Organization

Sovereign Energy recognizes Indigenous voices and leadership as paramount to a just, equitable, and clean energy future. The legacies of energy extraction, exploitation, and political barriers to tribal energy sovereignty continue to disrupt and cause harm to Indigenous communities and Tribal Nation building. Sovereign Energy works across the Southwest with Tribal governments and Indigenous Communities to change this paradigm, foster a regenerative energy future, create meaningful action toward climate goals, and ignite reparations for injustices caused by harmful energy development practices. The five pillars of our strategic initiatives include (1) renewable energy education; (2) Tribal capacity building; (3) policy & regulatory advocacy; (4) Tribal climate & energy resilience planning; and (5) cultural resource protection.
