Developing the Organized Village of Kasaan's Tribal Energy Plan.

摘要

The overall goal of the project was to bring our people closer together and increase the tribe's capacity and expertise on the subject of energy while developing a Strategic Energy Plan. The action steps of our strategic energy plan are the result of much research, discussion, desire, networking, both short and long term thought processes, experience, and our Haida culture. This was made possible by involving all stakeholders, including as many individuals as possible, as often as possible during the planning process. The planning process involves many aspects that the tribe considers important to a successful plan, such as a project manager who has a strong interest in the area, thorough research, networking and discussion with all people to be directly affected or involved, and a health dose of our traditional Haida culture. This project focuses on reducing energy costs and consumption as well as developing renewable energy sources. This plan is unique to the Organized Village of Kasaan and is designed to be as simple and clear as possible with significant and achievable goals. With the plan now in place, the Organized Village of Kasaan can begin to achieve healthy sustainability for our people.
