“I'm a tribal member of the Red Lake Nation, so being able to be a part of this and to be able to help make this dream a reality, I'm just so ecstatic,” Solar Bear owner Robert Blake said. “This is just an incredible moment right now.”

Blake is also executive director of the nonprofit Native Sun Community Power Development. It’s involved with workforce development for the project, as well as some of the planning and preparation. He said the Makwa Solar Array will benefit the community in more ways than one.

“The proceeds from the sale of this power is going to go back into community programming,” he said. “So, that's what's really going to be exciting about this.”
