The sun is shining right now across Native America. Is your tribe taking advantage of this form of renewable energy? There are many ways that individuals and tribes can access solar power, but it costs money to establish a system to capture that energy and use it in homes and businesses. Would you like to see more solar systems in your community? Join our conversation about the solar industry in Native communities.
Guests:
Henry Red Cloud (Oglala Lakota), Lakota Solar Enterprises
Mike Troge (Oneida Nation) – environmental project manager

Break Music: Anasazi Sun (song) Injunuity (artist) Fight For Survival (album)
I was listening to your program on native calling about the solar energy project that Henry Redcloud was involved in, and was wondering if he had some up coming training in the Albuquerque area or how I would get in contact with him via e-mail. I am very interested on starting a solar program with near by tribes in my area, I am a full blood Navajo from Albuquerque nm.
Hi David,
You can visit Henry’s website and there is a link to his contact information. Thanks so much for listening!
Solar power can benefit all peoples. There are now community solar programs being developed all across the country to make sure that solar is available to all.
I believe solar is going to be the future for home owners and business owners.
