The Nations of the Naut’sa Mawt Tribal Council

The Nations of the Naut’sa Mawt Tribal Council will develop community energy plans to manage energy consumption and develop strategies for future clean energy projects. The tribal council provides services to 11 First Nations in the areas of the Strait of Georgia and Strait of Juan de Fuca, and will receive $80,000 through the First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund to develop the plans. It’s hoped the plans will raise awareness about current energy consumption patterns, energy resources and infrastructure, as well as future energy needs. “Our member nations are keenly interested in exploring opportunities to conserve resources and produce clean energy,” said Gary Reith, chief administrative officer of the Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council.
