FNPA is pleased to share this video highlighting the growing need for affordable and reliable energy for Indigenous communities. The video project was completed in partnership with Energy for a Secure Future to highlight the energy-based challenges faced in Indigenous communities. Hear from Chief Mark Fox of Piapot First Nation, Chief Edwin Ananas of Beardy's and Okemasis Cree Nation and Chief Christine Longjohn of Sturgeon Lake First Nation. These leaders talk about "heat poverty" and the challenges their communities face when it comes to expensive, unreliable energy. Watch the video here to learn about these leaders' potential solutions. #FNPA #FirstNations #Indigenous #Inuit #CleanTech #EnergySecurity
