Building a project on tribal or Indian country lands is not a traditional development process, and presents legal and cultural complexities that require special consideration and due diligence. This conference will engage attendees in discussions with multiple governmental and tribal organizations, as well as tribal and Indian country project developers, to try to understand and learn from these unique challenges. Case studies of practitioners who have been involved in these types of projects—both in large utility-scale and smaller, distributed generation—will be showcased to highlight the considerable range in variety, scale and application these projects have, and to demonstrate how each tribal community has unique needs and visions for the project that must be mindfully addressed prior to, during, and throughout the entire development life cycle.
