A NEW WAY TO
HONOR THE OLD WAY
Red Cloud Renewable, a perpetually Native-led grassroots nonprofit on Pine Ridge Reservation, is one of the only majority Native-controlled renewable energy nonprofits in the nation.
OUR MISSION
Red Cloud Renewable empowers Native American communities by offering vital education in solar installation, sustainable building practices, and weatherization techniques. Through these initiatives, we equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement renewable energy solutions, construct environmentally friendly structures, and improve the resilience of homes against harsh weather conditions. This impactful work directly benefits Native American communities by fostering self-sufficiency, reducing energy costs, and promoting sustainability, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life within these populations.
We believe this path is a new way to honor the old ways and we hope you will join us on a journey of remembering our past, while building a new and better future!
