Red Cloud Renewable

Mission Statement

Red Cloud Renewable is a federally recognized 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization founded and operated by Lakota Elder, Henry Red Cloud. Our mission is to stimulate a significant revisioning of tribal communities where energy is created in renewable ways, meals are nutritional and fortified by traditional Lakota foods, homes are built in a sustainable way with local builders and materials, and the land is cared for and regenerated with the next seven generations in mind. Henry is a fifth-generation direct descendant of the great Lakota leader Chief Red Cloud (Mahpiya Luta). Today, Henry continues along a different path of leadership - one that is a new way to honor the old way – based on building energy independence for Native American communities across the Great Plains and far beyond.
