Native American reservations cover approximately 5% of U.S. land and hold an estimated 10% of the nation's energy resources, including vast geothermal potential. Unlocking these opportunities requires more than technical expertise — it demands cultural competency, respect for Tribal sovereignty, and a commitment to inclusive collaboration.

This interactive training introduces key principles from the Alliance's comprehensive 20-hour cultural competency program, offering a foundational understanding of Tribal governance, histories, contemporary realities, and best practices for engagement. Participants will gain insights into Tribal sovereignty, diverse governance structures, and cultural protocols, while learning how to avoid common missteps and build lasting, respectful partnerships that uplift communities and advance clean energy goals.
