about current energy systems, such as diesel generators, and local, sustainable energy sources that appear possible based on the location and climate of the community. Alongside information gathering, organizing community support for sustainable energy and efficiency projects is critical. Starting a community energy group to coordinate work, meeting with the main stakeholders in the community, such as Tribal council members, village corporation officials, and reaching out to the rest of the community to include them on the project are all important steps in building a community energy plan. Tribal coordinators in the Environmental Protection Agency’s Tribal Trust and Assistance Unit (TTAU) can be great resources for this kind of planning and coordination (see the “Conclusions and Funding Resources” section for more information on the TTAU). After information has been gathered and community coordination has taken place it is easier to identify areas for reducing dependence on diesel energy using local resources. After simple improvements have been accomplished, making contact with experts and officials for more complicated project planning will be a smoother process. Background Alaska Native communities, and Native Peoples of the world, have relied upon continuous natural cycles of energy throughout time immemorial. Indigenous communities understood where and how the natural world releases its stores of energy and how to use them as well as the limitations created by responsible use of those gifts. As the world’s stores of oil and gas have become limited and costly, the global discussion has turned to these ancient sustainable energy sources. To the Tribal communities of the world, and especially those of Alaska, stewardship and responsible consumption are not new energy guidelines, but foundational values. Adopting modern renewable energy technologies are an implementation of those traditional values. Shifting to renewable energy sources has environmental, cultural and strong economic motivations. In the lower contiguous 48 States, consumers are faced with gas prices greater than $4 per gallon. In rural Alaska, those rates can be $10 per gallon for diesel and fuel oil that is relied upon for heat and electricity. In a region where winter temperatures register among the coldest in the world, access to energy for heat and transportation is a human rights concern as well as an economic one. Shifting to renewable energy sources also reduces contributions to greenhouse gases that cause global climate change, a process that has disproportionately negative effects on Alaska Native communities. While the need for new energy sources other than oil is clear and the connection between reducing diesel use/emissions has a positive effect on public health, the path towards those Sustainable Energy Opportunities: Best Practices for Alaska Tribes Page 4
