The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe has completed a solar photovoltaic installation project in Milwaukee, funded in part with $2.6 million from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The project is one of five Community Renewable Energy Deployment (CommRE) projects that received DOE funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and is the first to be completed. DOE's CommRE projects help communities implement long-term renewable energy technologies, create jobs, and provide examples for replication by other local governments, campuses, and small utilities.

Par, Mother Earth and all creatures are part of our being. We Ojibwe have a saying ''Gakina Awiiya'' we are all related. It means not only humans but everything that is on this planet.
The Potawatomi are part of the ''Three Fires Nations'', which are the Ojibwe, Ottowa and Potawatomi. We have been a confederacy for hundreds of years. The Potawatomi are the ''Keepers of the Fire'', the Ottowa are the ''Trader people'' and the Ojibwe are the ''Keepers of the Sacred Scrolls and Water Drum of the Midewiwin''...
Probably more informatioin then you needed...lol

I respect the Native American... I understand their plight.. I may not know all of the different segments/tribes of the Indian.. but I do appreciate the Natural History that they have been a part of and surrounded themselves with... My grandmother was very interested in the culture and history.. she use to take trips and interact with some tribal areas.. such as those in NM, AZ, MT, and other areas.. that was her fascination/interest...

LOVE the article, Use to live right by an Indian Reservation. The people are very much as you describe. Beautiful land by the Mountains and the River. Really, hope something could develop for this tribe like that. There is such a need for power on the reservations. Did you read about the methane released under the arctic of millions of tons. This model is what we need to save our world. The Native Americans set such a GOOD example.
