The tribe has secured significant environmental and climate-related funding, including a $2.3 million EPA Cooperative Agreement under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program to implement greenhouse gas reduction initiatives such as weatherization programs, building efficiency upgrades, solar panel installation, and workforce development training for tribal citizens in renewable energy operations and maintenance. Additional EPA funding supports environmental capacity building, water quality monitoring, renewable energy research, and community pollution prevention education. The Department of Energy has awarded a conditional Formula Grant for the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program under the Inflation Reduction Act.
