Gun Lake Tribe believes that our land, resources and people are the basis for our spiritual life. Since the birth story of the Neshnabék, our resources and land have been our only way to live. All of our cultural resources, including our food and traditional medicines are non‑renewable. With this in mind, geté yajtowen (climate change) can have astronomical effects on our traditions and everyday lives.
Since 2015, Gun Lake Tribe has worked to learn more about our energy use, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other environmental impacts. Gun Lake Tribe is implementing measures that reduce GHG emissions and enhance natural areas that capture climate pollution. Gun Lake Tribe will honor those who walked before us and the next seven generations by strengthening our sovereignty through self-sufficiency with thoughtful, responsible energy and conservation practices.
