The sun gives the Earth an abundance of energy, sustaining life. It keeps us warm, gives living organisms energy and grows our food. Everywhere, Indigenous communities are investing in solar power and clean energy. Science Questers visit the T’Sou-Ke Nation to speak with Educator Trena Sutton about the community’s solar power project and Chief Gordon Planes tells us how clean energy is helping future generations. Jessica Bekker inspire us with her journey to become an Electrical Engineer and about the importance of sustainable energy, including wind power in her Nation of Piikani. Meanwhile, Kai makes a DIY solar oven and in our animated story, the Cosmic Surfer saves the day. Commander John Herrington introduces us to the Pueblo peoples, who designed and engineered their own type of house to use the sun’s energy.
