The Origins of Keystone’s Tribal Engagement

Marques Chavez
As part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Keystone Policy Center, we explore how Keystone’s work with tribal nations began. We revisit a pivotal time in the 1970s, when Native leaders were asserting sovereignty and building new alliances. Through clips from an interview with Ed Gabriel, we hear how a ski trip, a conversation, and a shared vision gave rise to the Council of Energy Resource Tribes, the Indian Business Roundtable, and a model of non-adversarial dialogue that continues to shape policy today.
