Indigenous Clean Energy

Indigenous Clean Energy

Indigenous Clean Energy (ICE) was born out of Chris Henderson’s deep respect for Indigenous communities and their connection to the land. After years working in the clean energy sector, Chris realized that many Indigenous communities faced systemic barriers to accessing sustainable energy solutions despite being uniquely positioned to lead in this space. In response, he co-founded ICE to provide a platform where Indigenous leaders could drive renewable energy projects tailored to their communities. Through mentorship, training, and partnerships, ICE supports initiatives like solar farms, wind projects, and energy efficiency programs that not only bring clean energy but also create jobs and foster self-reliance. For Chris, ICE is more than a renewable energy initiative—it’s about honoring Indigenous knowledge and building a future where environmental sustainability and cultural sovereignty go hand in hand. Each project reflects a commitment to reconciliation and a belief in the power of collaboration to create meaningful, lasting change.
