Minnesota Chippewa Tribe: White Earth Band - 2003 Project

Project Description

Several northern Minnesota tribes interested in building a common foundation for strategic tribal energy capacity have banded together for strategic energy resource planning. This collaborative will focus on four areas:

  1. Education — raising community awareness about energy issues;

  2. Assessment — identification and assessment of the basic on reservation energy flow and consumption patterns, and the potential for energy policy development;

  3. Strategic planning — development of tribal energy visions and outlining long-term strategic energy planning; and

  4. Organizational development — development of model organizational documents, such as codes and policies, to promote the formation of tribal utility institutions.

Project Status

The project is complete. See the final report. For additional information, see the November 2003, October 2004, October 2005, October 2006, and November 2007 presentations.
