Working with Hopi and Navajo communities to create sustainable economic development projects
The Colorado Plateau has long been inhabited by Native Peoples who have subsisted off the land. Native American nations comprise about 25 percent of the region's population and manage 30 percent of the land. The Plateau tribes are some of the most culturally distinct in the U.S., and they have worked to preserve their cultures while developing modern communities. The Trust is dedicated to helping Native communities and governments diversify their local economies to lessen dependence on coal mining and coal-fired generating plants. Our projects span the retail, tourism, and utility-scale renewable energy sectors
Volunteers will have the opportunity to mitigate the effects of past environmental degradation on Tribal lands as well as connect with members of local communities where we conduct sustainable, community-driven, economic development work. Our aim is to help create teamwork and progressive change.
