Listening to Tribes and understanding Tribal priorities drives our programs and services we offer.

Tribal Wellbeing for Seven Generations Program

Welcome to Tribal Wellbeing for Seven Generations Program (TW7G)

Our program provides support and resources for Tribes as they prepare for and contend with climate impacts and transition to clean energy sources.

We hope this site provides you with useful information and tools to help you better understand climate impacts, educate others on the issue, and develop strategies for dealing with climate impact in your own community. We welcome your ideas and input. Please feel free to provide us with comments and suggestions for improvements to our website.
