THE SHAKOPEE MDEWAKANTON SIOUX COMMUNITY (SMSC) SEEKS FUNDING TO DETERMINE VIABLE LOCATIONS AND DEFINE POTENTIAL TARGETS TO SUPPORT ITS GOAL OF IMPLEMENTING A COMMUNITY SOLAR AND OR WIND FARM DESIGNED TO SERVE TRIBAL RESIDENTIAL HOMES AND TRIBAL BUILDINGS. SMSC IS A FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED, SOVEREIGN NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBAL GOVERNMENT CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 350 MEMBERS. SMSC IS A COMMUNITY OF DAKOTA PEOPLE OF THE GREAT SIOUX NATION WHOSE ANCESTORS HAVE LIVED IN THE REGION NEAR SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA FOR CENTURIES. SMSC CURRENTLY OWNS AND OPERATES A DIVERSE COLLECTION OF 24 TOTAL ENTERPRISES ON ITS 9.56 SQUARE MILES (6,119 ACRES) OF COMBINED RESERVATION AND OFF-RESERVATION TRUST LAND IN SCOTTS COUNTY, MINNESOTA.AS PART OF THE SMSC COMMUNITY SOLAR AND WIND FEASIBILITY STUDY AND LAND ASSESSMENT PROJECT, SMSC WILL CARRY OUT A FEASIBILITY STUDY TO ASSESS THE POTENTIAL FOR DEPLOYING COMMUNITY-SCALE SOLAR AND OR WIND ENERGY SYSTEMS ON TRIBAL LAND. THE STUDY WILL FOCUS ON IDENTIFYING AND EVALUATING SITES SUITABLE FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS UNDER 5 MW IN SIZE. SMSC WILL PRIORITIZE LOCATIONS THAT COULD SERVE TRIBAL RESIDENTIAL HOMES AND OR TRIBAL GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS. THIS EFFORT WILL BUILD UPON PRIOR WORK COMPLETED THROUGH THE ONGOING 2024 EMDP UTILITY-SCALE SOLAR AND STORAGE FEASIBILITY STUDY WHICH FOCUSED ON LARGER SCALE SOLAR SYSTEMS GREATER THAN 5 MW.THIS PROJECT SUPPORTS SMSCS LONG-TERM GOAL TO ACHIEVE CARBON NEUTRALITY BY 2035 TO FOSTER LONG-TERM COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY AND PROTECT AND PRESERVE TRIBAL LANDS FOR THE NEXT SEVEN GENERATIONS. AS PART OF THIS LONG-TERM GOAL, SMSC INTENDS TO INSTALL 16.1MW OF RENEWABLE ENERGY BY 2035. THIS PROJECT SUPPORTS SMSCS LONG-TERM GOALS BECAUSE IT AIMS TO ESTABLISH A SOLAR AND OR WIND FARM DESIGNED TO DECARBONIZE THE COMMUNITY AND INCREASE SMSCS RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION.TO MEET SMSCS LONG-TERM AND PROJECT GOALS, THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL MEET THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES:1.OBJECTIVE 1: TO ASSESS AND IDENTIFY SUITABLE LAND PARCELS AND SURROUNDING INFRASTRUCTURE ON SMSC TRIBAL LAND THAT HAVE CAPACITY FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT.2.OBJECTIVE 2: TO EVALUATE SOLAR AND WIND RESOURCE POTENTIAL AT EACH IDENTIFIED LOCATION, WHILE ALSO ASSESSING KEY SITE CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS SLOPE, SHADING, AND FLOOD RISK.3.OBJECTIVE 3: TO COMPLETE A PRELIMINARY SYSTEM DESIGN FOR THE MOST SUITABLE SITE AND RESOURCE TYPE(S), INCLUDING ESTIMATING ANNUAL ENERGY GENERATION AND INCORPORATING THOSE OUTPUTS INTO A FINANCIAL MODEL TO ASSESS PROJECT VIABILITY.4.OBJECTIVE 4: TO DRAFT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) AND AN EVALUATION FRAMEWORK TO SUPPORT THE SELECTION OF AN ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT, AND CONSTRUCTION (EPC) CONTRACTOR.BY THE END OF THE PROJECT, SMSC WILL HAVE A FEASIBILITY STUDY THAT INCLUDES ACTIONABLE RECOMMENDATIONS AND IDENTIFIES AT LEAST ONE SITE FOR SHOVEL-READY DEPLOYMENT.

THE SHAKOPEE MDEWAKANTON SIOUX COMMUNITY THE SMSC IS REQUESTING EMDP GRANT FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF 180000 TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF A COMMUNITYSCALE SOLAR PLUS STORAGE SOLUTION THAT COULD PROVIDE A SECURE RELIABLE AND RESILIENT POWER SUPPLY TO ITS COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ENTERPRISES IN SCOTT COUNTY MINNESOTA. THE SMSC BELIEVES THAT INVESTING IN ENERGY DEVELOPMENT WILL ENABLE ENERGY SOVEREIGNTY AND SELFDETERMINATION AND FACILITATE A SHORTTERM PATH TO IMPROVING THE ENERGY SERVICES WITHIN THE SMSC COMMUNITY IN SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA.AS PART OF THE SHAKOPEE MDEWAKANTON SIOUX COMMUNITY SOLAR STORAGE FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS THE SMSC WOULD LIKE TO INVESTIGATE IF THE INSTALLATION OF DISTRIBUTED SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC PV SYSTEMS WITH STORAGE COULD POWER TRIBAL AND COMMUNITY LOADS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. THIS FEASIBILITY STUDY WILL ANALYZE AND MODEL CURRENT ENERGY LOADS IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOLAR GENERATION TO MEET THE LOADS AND QUANTIFY THE FINANCIAL SAVINGS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OVER TIME. DEPLOYING A SOLAR ARRAY WITH STORAGE ON THE TRIBAL LAND ALLOWS THE SMSC TO IMPROVE THE COMMUNITYS ENERGY RESILIENCE EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND ACHIEVE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE.THE SMSC IS A FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED SOVEREIGN NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBAL GOVERNMENT CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 350 MEMBERS. THE SMSC IS GOVERNED BY A GENERAL COUNCIL INCLUDING ALL ENROLLED MEMBERS OF THE TRIBE AGED 18 AND OLDER AND A BUSINESS COUNCIL CONSISTING OF A CHAIRMAN VICECHAIRMAN AND SECRETARY TREASURER WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RUNNING THE DAYTODAY OPERATIONS OF THE TRIBE AND FOR IMPLEMENTING THE DECISIONS OF THE GENERAL COUNCIL. THE SMSC IS A COMMUNITY OF DAKOTA PEOPLE OF THE GREAT SIOUX NATION WHOSE ANCESTORS HAVE LIVED IN THE REGION NEAR SHAKOPEE MINNESOTA FOR CENTURIES. THE SMSC CURRENTLY OWNS AND OPERATES A DIVERSE COLLECTION OF 24 TOTAL ENTERPRISES ON ITS 9.56 SQUARE MILES 6119 ACRES OF COMBINED RESERVATION AND OFFRESERVATION TRUST LAND IN SCOTTS COUNTY MINNESOTA. FROM A TRIBAL GARDEN TO TWO MAJOR CASINOS HOTELS AND FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER THE SMSC IS THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN SCOTTS COUNTY AND PROVIDES OVER 4100 JOBS TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY. THE SMSC WILL CONDUCT A DETAILED COMMUNITY UTILITYSCALE SOLAR AND STORAGE FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT AT TWO TRIBALLY DESIGNATED SITES TO DETERMINE THE ECONOMIC VIABILITY REVENUE GENERATION AND FINANCIAL BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT ALONG WITH THE EXPECTED RISKS AND RETURNS. THE FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT AIMS TO FIND NEW ENERGY GENERATION OPTIONS UPON ITS LAND TO REACH ITS OVERALL LONGTERM GOALS OF CARBON NEUTRALITY BY 2035 ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. TO MEET THESE GOALS THE PROJECT HAS THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES:1. TO EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF COMMUNITYSCALE SOLAR AND STORAGE ON TRIBAL LAND TO UNDERSTAND THE TECHNOECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF THE PROJECT. 2. TO CREATE A ROADMAP TO DEPLOY FEASIBLE COMMUNITYSCALE SOLAR STORAGE SOLUTIONS ON TRIBAL LAND THAT ACCOUNTS FOR SOCIOECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS AND CONSTRAINTS. 3. TO ACCESS THE CAPITAL FINANCING OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO ACCELERATE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT ENABLING THE TRIBE TO MEET THEIR LONGTERM GOAL OF BEING CARBON NEUTRAL BY 2035.

PLANNING: FIRE-PLAN: EXPLORING FIRE AS MEDICINE TO REVITALIZE CULTURAL BURNING IN THE UPPER MIDWEST -THIS PLANNING PROJECT-- FIRE AS MEDICINE-- AIMS TO DEVELOP TRAINING AND KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT FOR INDIGENOUS LAND MANAGEMENT PRACTITIONERS TO PROMOTE HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES. INDIGENOUS PEOPLE USED FIRE FOR CENTURIES TO NOT ONLY ENSURE AMPLE SUPPLIES OF IMPORTANT RESOURCES, SUCH AS FOOD AND FIBER MATERIALS, BUT ALSO TO CONNECT WITH THE LAND. EUROPEAN COLONIZATION CHANGED THE CLOSE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND FIRE. TODAY, MANY LAND MANAGEMENT AGENCIES USE PRESCRIBED FIRE TO ACHIEVE SEVERAL GOALS, BUT THESE EFFORTS OFTEN HAVE LIMITED CULTURAL VALUE FOR TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. THIS PROJECT FIRST SEEKS TO UNDERSTAND THE CULTURAL CONTEXT OF BURNING IN INDIGENOUS LANDS AND WHAT INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AIM TO ACHIEVE IN TERMS OF BOTH ECOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL OBJECTIVES. IN DEVELOPING THIS RESEARCH THE PROJECT PROVIDES KNOWLEDGE, TRAINING, AND RESOURCES TO CONDUCT CULTURALLY-MEANINGFUL BURNS THAT ARE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH THE TALLGRASS PRAIRIE AND OAK SAVANNA FIRE SCIENCE CONSORTIUM AND THE USDA AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE ENSURE BROAD DISSEMINATION AND USE BY A LARGE STAKEHOLDER COMMUNITY IN THE REGION. MANY INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES BELIEVE REGAINING CONTROL OF FIRE IN THEIR LANDSCAPES WILL HELP HEAL DAMAGE PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. THIS PROJECT DEVELOPS CAPACITY FOR UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES IN THE UPPER MIDWEST TO UNDERSTAND AND IMPLEMENT CULTURAL BURNING THEMSELVES. SPECIFICALLY, LISTENING SESSIONS WITH ELDERS AND LAND MANAGERS IN INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES AIM TO INFORM WHAT IS CURRENTLY KNOWN AND PRACTICED WITH RESPECT TO CULTURAL BURNING ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST, AND IDENTIFY BARRIERS, KNOWLEDGE GAPS, AND UNDER-DEVELOPED OPPORTUNITIES THAT CURRENTLY LIMIT CULTURAL BURNING. FOLLOWING THE LISTENING SESSIONS, COMMON THEMES ARE PRESENTED TO A FOCUS GROUP OF REGIONAL INDIGENOUS STAKEHOLDERS TO IDENTIFY PRIORITIES FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING TO BE ADDRESSED IN SUBSEQUENT PHASES OF THE FIRE AS MEDICINE PROJECT. THE TEAM FACILITATES THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDIGENOUS MODEL OF FIRE REGIMES BASED ON TRADITIONAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE FOR THE PRAIRIES AND WOODLANDS OF THE UPPER MIDWEST AND ADJACENT REGIONS IN CANADA. THE PROJECT INCLUDES UNDER-REPRESENTED GROUPS IN ALL STAGES OF THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT, IMPLEMENTATION, AND DISSEMINATION. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
