    Sobre Nós

    Sovereign Energy was founded in 2021, recognizing 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. To fulfill our mission of advancing Tribal energy sovereignty, we champion equitable access to renewable energy and advocate for the protection of sacred sites from energy projects that do not fully engage or respect Indigenous communities.

    As Sovereign Energy engages with Tribal leaders, community members, state and federal agencies, and other stakeholders, it is clear that there is a strong demand for our services. We are committed to supporting the growth of Tribal Nations and enhancing Indigenous livelihoods through: empowering Tribes to achieve energy sovereignty and self-sufficiency; reducing electricity costs for families, elders, and those on fixed incomes; minimizing exposure to harmful pollutants, and addressing climate-related health challenges; cultivating Indigenous professionals in the clean energy workforce; advocating for the protection of sacred lands and resources from harmful energy projects; and advancing Tribal clean energy initiatives that stimulate local economies, fund community programs, and create healthier, more sustainable environments.

    We believe Indigenous ingenuity, collaboration, and community-led solutions are key to healing and transformative impact. Sovereign Energy is led and operated by Indigenous women. We aim to uplift the legacies of Indigenous stewardship, traditional knowledge, and respect for the natural energy sources, land, and sacred sites that have sustained us for generations. We work in partnership with several Tribal Nations, Tribal entities, local and national Indigenous-led and non-profit organizations, state legislative and congressional leadership, and environmental NGOs.

    Through strategic partnerships, capacity-building initiatives, and advocacy efforts, Sovereign Energy seeks to empower Southwest Pueblos and Tribes, enabling them to assert their sovereignty and leadership in shaping a just, interdependent, and sustainable energy future. By centering Indigenous voices and values within the renewable energy transition, we aim to address the legacies of injustice and uphold the rights of Indigenous peoples. Through collaborative action and community-led initiatives, we envision a future where Tribal energy sovereignty is recognized and respected, contributing to broader social and environmental justice goals.
