CTUIR CAP Webinar Eight Climate and Energy

Originally hosted Fri April 2nd 1 3 PM
This is the eight webinar in our Climate Adaptation Plan virtual series, and it focuses on our Energy, the forms of energy and how we harness them with energy production methods and ways to produce energy on the UIR, about Energy Trust of Oregon's programs and support services, how solar panels, microhydropower, and other renewable energy sources work with our larger energy grid and ways that we can build resilience, the legacy that the Hanford Nuclear Reservation leaves for future generations of CTUIR tribal members, and the power of tribal sovereignty in meeting state and federal agencies at the table with regional energy projects. The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) is planning for an uncertain future and protecting and enhancing First Foods and the tribe's Indigenous food system in the face of climate change is essential. This webinar series provides an overview of the energy generation and demand reduction efforts the tribe is engaged in to provide for and the health of the Umatilla, Cayuse, and Walla Walla peoples into the future.
