Dv’laa Haa~ (Welcome). EnerTribe was founded to support Tribal Nations as sovereign governments and economic leaders on their own terms. Since 2009, we have worked alongside Indigenous communities across North America, helping Tribes navigate complex systems while maintaining control over their infrastructure, resources, and future.
Helping communities move complex projects forward on their own terms
Our team brings deep experience working with Tribal governments, federal and state agencies, and private sector providers. We understand real-world conditions such as permitting, environmental review, community engagement, and long-term operations. When projects need stability, clarity, and forward progress, EnerTribe steps in to support the path ahead.
Beyond project delivery, EnerTribe supports long-term economic development and diversification strategies that strengthen Tribal self-determination. To date, we have helped secure more than $950 million in infrastructure funding for Indigenous communities and turned community vision into lasting infrastructure assets.
We know infrastructure projects can raise a lot of questions. Here are some of the ones we hear most often.
EnerTribe primarily works with Tribal Nations, tTribal enterprises, and Indigenous-led organizations. We also collaborate with federal and state agencies and private sector partners when it supports Tribal goals and sovereignty.
We support a range of infrastructure projects, including broadband and telecom, water and energy systems, funding and grants, permitting and compliance, and long-term operations planning. Some projects are large and complex, while others focus on early planning or grant readiness.
Most projects begin with a conversation. We take time to understand community priorities, capacity, and timelines before recommending any approach or next steps.
Yes. Grant strategy and funding support are a core part of our work. We help identify opportunities, develop strong applications, and support compliance and reporting once funding is awarded.
No. Our role is to support and strengthen Tribal capacity, not replace it. We work alongside Tribal staff and partners, providing technical expertise where it is needed.
We use modern tools, including artificial intelligence, to support planning, reduce administrative burden, and help teams make informed decisions. Technology is always used in service of Tribal priorities and under Tribal control.
EnerTribe is a 100% Native-owned firm built by Indian Country, for Indian Country. Our work is grounded in sovereignty, lived experience, and long-term partnership, not just project delivery.
