Help us leave a legacy on our native land
We are building a wind farm to provide clean energy to the people of Standing Rock for generations into the future — and we need your support.
The Anpetu Wi wind farm needs your support
Anpetu Wi (“morning light”) will be the single largest revenue source for Standing Rock, which we plan to reinvest into future projects and Standing Rock as a whole. We need your support to ensure this wind farm remains owned and operated by the people of Standing Rock for generations to come.
Please share and support.
$485,964 raised toward our goal
We express our gratitude to all of our generous supporters, as they have played a vital role in helping us exceed our phase 1 crowdfunding goals, surpassing the target of $400,000. As we move forward, our focus now shifts to the phase two goal of $1,000,000, which will be instrumental in bringing the Anpetu Wi Wind farm to life.
Your unwavering support is of immense importance as we strive to turn this renewable energy vision into reality. Together, we can forge a sustainable future, driven by the power of clean wind energy. Your contribution not only helps us achieve our crowdfunding goals but also enables us to create a brighter and more sustainable future for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and beyond.
The establishment of reservations in some of the most desolate locations in the U.S., compounded by broken treaty after broken treaty, has made it so that many of the people on Standing Rock endure the effects of forced government dependency for basic human needs. We experience the hardship of a 50% unemployment rate and a 37% poverty rate.
In the aftermath of our fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline (#NoDAPL), we renewed and deepened our commitment to self-determination through institution building and renewable energy development . This effort, which had been a priority for the Tribe for many years, is now being realized through the creation of the SAGE Development Authority. In this effort, we will justly transition from fossil fuel dependence and exploitation to self-determination and sustainability.
Anpetu Wi will be the single largest revenue source for Standing Rock, estimated to nearly double (2x) our community’s annual revenue — on its own. And we plan to devote these funds to further economic development, reinvesting them into future SAGE projects and Standing Rock as a whole.
