Class Description:
Tribal communities in the United States are increasingly transitioning their energy systems from fossil fuels to clean energy. For tribal communities, clean energy creates opportunities to simultaneously advance local development, climate change mitigation, and tribal sovereignty. In this course, we will engage with tribal leaders across the continent that are leading local energy transitions in their communities. Spurred by recent laws targeting energy and climate funding to tribal nations (the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) and recent establishment of tribal energy development organizations, this class will explore the diversity of pathways to tribal energy transitions. The class will be led by Bob Blake, a tribal citizen of Red Lake Nation and founder of Solar Bear and Native Sun Community Power Development, and Gabe Chan in the Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy area of the Humphrey School.

At the end of the semester, students will have the option to participate in a week-long field experience addition to the course from May 15-19. During the field experience, students will travel to tribal nations in Wisconsin and Minnesota leading community-driven energy transition initiatives.
