“My biggest dream is for First Nations communities to be energy independent before mainstream America.” – Henry Red Cloud
Henry Red Cloud owns and operates Lakota Solar Enterprises (LSE), one of the nation’s first Native American-owned and operated renewable energy companies. In partnership with Henry and LSE, Trees, Water & People’s Tribal Program has built and installed more than 800 solar heating systems for families living on tribal lands across the country. In addition, TWP and Henry train Native Americans in a wide variety of renewable energy applications, including solar, wind, geothermal, and sustainable building. Together, TWP and Henry also co-manage the Red Cloud Renewable Energy Center (RCREC) on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. RCREC is a place where tribes from around the country receive hands-on training in renewable energy applications from fellow Native Americans.
