Here on the reservation, where food and energy sovereignty are inextricably linked, a new solar installation is helping the tribe become more self-sufficient. The 36kW solar array and 57.6kW battery was funded by the Honnold Foundation and constructed by Freedom Forever and Jinko Solar in collaboration with Indigenized Energy. Cody Two Bears, the founder of Indigenized Energy, sees energy sovereignty as inextricable from food sovereignty. The solar array also brings the buffalo program closer to self-sufficiency. In November 2025, Small and the buffalo program handed out 5,414 pounds of buffalo meat.
