SUMMARY:Tribal Energy Equity Summit
DESCRIPTION:May 22-24\nOjibwe & Dakota Territory in St. Paul\, Minnesota\nEvent website \nThe Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and related legislation provide Native American tribes with access to billions of dollars for the development of clean energy infrastructure.

During the Summit\, with support from professional Native facilitators throughout\, Tribal Nations can convene one-on-one with representatives from federal and state agencies to share their\nexperiences\, listen\, learn\, and build strong relationships\, which are essential for equitable clean energy development. The ultimate goal of this gathering is to bring about more Tribally led projects\, leading to significant socioeconomic and environmental benefits for Tribal communities. \nThe Summit is open to leaders from federally and state recognized Tribal Nations at no cost and to their supporting organizations at a fee. Travel stipends are available for qualifying tribal participants.
