Red Lake Nation to receive $600,000 to connect tribal homes to clean electricity

RED LAKE - Red Lake Nation will receive $600,000 in federal funding to connect tribal homes to clean electricity, including homes previously not connected to electricity at all.

The announcement came on Wednesday from U.S. Senators Tina Smith, a member of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, and Amy Klobuchar, both D-Minn.

Additionally, Minnesota's Bois Forte Band will receive $295,000 and Prairie Island Indian Community will receive $500,000. The grants are made possible by President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, which Senators Smith and Klobuchar both supported, the release explained.
