Protecting our world
Our Vision
Our vision is a Haíɫzaqv Nation where clean energy sovereignty reflects our ǧvi̓ḷás and Haíɫzaqv worldview. By harnessing the wind, sun, earth, and water, we create resilience for today and sustainability for future generations.
Our Mission
Our mission is to engage and educate the Haíɫzaqv community to ensure collective ownership of climate action; protect and cultivate the abundance of our homelands by living in balance and practicing Haíɫzaqv sovereignty; adapt to climate change by developing and implementing clean energy policies, targets, and strategies rooted in our values; ensure equitable access to clean energy derived from the gifts of the Creator for all Haíɫzaqv people; and foster wellbeing by transitioning to a carbon-neutral community that supports our people and homelands.
Haíɫzaqv Climate Action is proud to present a Clean Energy Plan created by the community, for the community. Rooted in our ǧvi̓ḷás and Haíɫzaqv worldview, this plan reflects our shared commitment to practicing sovereignty, resilience, and sustainability for generations to come.
Ǧvi̓ḷás
Our Traditional Laws
Our traditional laws form a sophisticated system that guides our relationships, behavior, and ceremonies. They have supported and sustained us since the time of creation and continue to do so today, protecting our land, water, and resources while fostering an interdependent relationship with the ecosystems around us.
Haíɫzaqv Worldview
Our worldview teaches that everything is connected. By caring for the land, water, and resources, we sustain a relationship of reciprocity where nature provides for us, and we honor these gifts by living in harmony.
Clean Energy
Renewable, zero-emission sources come from the gifts of our Creator – the Sun, the Wind, the Water, and the Earth. While clean energy is often seen as a modern innovation, harnessing nature’s power has long been used for heating, transportation, lighting, and more. Through the Haiłzaqv Climate Action community engagement process, solar, wind, and bioenergy emerged as the top three clean energy choices among community members.
