Empowering Tribes: Harnessing Energy and Minerals for Economic Growth

Description:

Unlock the potential of Alaska Native economies! The BIA’s Division of Energy and Mineral Development (DEMD) is partnering with Tribes and Alaska Native Villages in a shared mission to develop sustainable energy and mineral resources that empower Indigenous communities. In this dynamic session, participants will explore:
  • Grant Programs: An overview of innovative funding opportunities designed to stimulate economic development;
  • Comprehensive Services: Insight into the wide range of consulting services available, tailored to meet the unique needs of Tribal communities;
  • Ongoing mineral development initiatives.
Join us to discover how the DEMD can help Native communities pave the way for sustainable growth and prosperity in Alaska’s Tribal economies. Be part of the conversation on how energy and minerals can be a significant part of your community’s economic development future!
