Energy Sovereignty in the Great Basin: Balancing Clean Energy Demands, Tribal Consultation, and Sacred Land Protection
When
Office/Remote Location
Description
As Nevada once again becomes the nation’s focal point for critical mineral extraction and renewable energy expansion, Tribal Nations across the Great Basin are actively mobilizing to protect their sacred lands, fragile desert water tables, and cultural survival.
This webinar examines how Tribal Nations in Nevada are confronting the environmental and cultural threats posed by fast-tracked industrial projects, moving beyond flawed federal consultation models to establish their own regulatory frameworks. The session explores practical legal and policy strategies for asserting sovereignty, safeguarding sacred sites like Peehee Mu’huh (Thacker Pass), and ensuring that the transition to clean energy respects tribal sovereignty and environmental justice.
