Solar Summit 2015 Report

Hello Everyone,

Here is my Solar Summit 2015 Report I would like to share and open for all band membership for information and also potential opportunities towards self sufficiency and/or nationhood sufficiency. Currently Saddle Lake Cree Nation is working on a Solar Panel project n the Water Treatment Plant which can potentially save us over $200,000 per year instead of using fossil fuel (coal) energy through ATCO Electric.

Please see the hyperlinks and feel free to share with others on my Scribe Account for Public Access for download.

Aski Kapimohtet Iskwew our treaty signatory chiefs, chief blue quill, chief pakan, chief wasatnow, chief onchiminahos, all those that made saddle lake what it is today. history! treaty and indian affairs brought saddle lake together. and it is this understanding of our histories, where we came from, to celebrate who we are to create dreams for our young people. it is what it is, we cannot undo these things but we can learn from them, grow and celebrate so we can start envisioning healthier and safer communities! yes i love my roots and where I am from! saddle laker for life! lol!
