ing together, their attention on
community engagement about
the new opportunities.
There were companies focusing
on the community energy oppor-
tunities; some regarding utilities en-
ergy opportunities for the Confed-
erated Tribes; others for culture,
heritage and natural resources; and
some demonstrating renewable en-
ergy opportunities.

for everyone in the family, with
raffles, including for an e-bike; a
home efficiency and weatheriza-
tion supply giveaway; inter-active
activities with solar technologies
such as solar panels, a solar oven
and water pumps, solar lanterns
and model cars, battery systems
and more.
