The construction of over 122 electric vehicle charging stations has begun, connecting Minnesota’s Tribal communities along major corridors with neighboring Tribes in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Dubbed Electric Nation, the project led by Native Sun Community Power Development will link 23 Tribal nations across the Upper Midwest with chargers, while also delivering 16 electric vehicles, from trucks to shuttles, to Tribal fleets across the region. Poised to reshape the future of energy and transportation for the state’s Indigenous communities, the project-among other Native-led initiatives-represents a spark for Tribal sovereignty, climate action, and the transition to a green economy.
