Tribal Development History and
Environmental Scan
In completing a scan of the environment, it is important to create a “snapshot”
of the Tribe from the point of its relevant history up to the point at which it
currently exists. In this session participants shared information on key points,
events, people and experiences in the Tribe’s past that shaped the way decisions
are made, projects develop and assumption s that impact planning for the future
of Kake .
The historical information is recorded in a matrix of time that serves as a basis
for sharing, reflecting and acknowledging the path that has brought the Tribe to
the current point in time. The notations above th e historical information are the
group’s reflection on what the community experienced in each era of the
timeline.

Practical Vision
Everyone owns the vision of the future. We each hold it in our imagination. In this
workshop, participants are invited to bring their imagination and optimism to the table
and help weave a complete picture of what Kake’s energy vision should produce for the
community in ten years. If energy development in Kake is done well, and thoughtfully,
what will the community see as the residual benefits aside from the specific energy
project itself?
The focus question before the group was:
What Do We Want to See In Place in 2022
As a Result of Successful Energy Development in Kake?

Vision Brainstorm Data
This is the brainstorm data that was the result of the first round of vision discussions. It
represents the ideas of all participants. The brainstorm data itself does not represent the
consensus of the group but it is an important link to what people were thinking about as they
discussed each vision cluster. The clusters emerged from this seed data. Some ideas are
specific, others are more general. They all help us imagine Kake’s future ten years from
now.

Underlying Contradictions
The focus of the Underlying Contradictions Workshop is Analysis. The underlying
contradictions workshop asks the question:
What are the issues and obstacles which block progress towards our shared energy vision?
Honest dialogue is required for this clear-headed analysis of the Tribe’s issues. The group’s
analysis of contradictions is at the heart of this workshop. Participants discussed the issues
and obstacles blocking Kake’s energy Vision and determined that there were four
underlying contradictions. These are shown in the swirl on the next page moving from the
most disruptive at the center to the least disruptive.
Underlying Contradictions Data

Strategies for 2012-14
In this workshop participants developed potential actions that could be taken over the next
two years to achieve Kake’s community energy Vision. The group identified actions that
launch vision efforts across the team and actions that address the contradictions. The actions
then came together through group dialogue and consensus on the strategies implied by the
various groupings of effort.
The picture below represents the group’s consensus on five strategies, with the group’s
sense of which one opens new opportunities & support for energy development (in front),
those that build momentum (in the middle) and those that balance and support energy efforts
among all members of the team and the community:

Strategic Directions Brainstorm Data and Teams
In the brainstorm for the strategic directions is the core information to launch the
implementation phase of this work. Although every item listed may not be prioritized for
completion, this information provides a look at the pending priorities and potential action
which will ultimately be decided by the teams of people who work on each strategy. In
addition to the strategy teams, it will be important for each stakeholder in the community to
look through the strategies and determine how the strategies inform the work of their
respective entities in support of the overall effort on behalf of the community’s energy
security.

NEXT STEPS Kake Community Energy Planning
Participants shared their small team implementation steps then went on to discuss the next steps for
maintaining the group’s momentum and effort to work together to guide and manage the tasks in
front of the group. The following are the priorities identified by the group:
1. Address FUEL SECURITY – Mobilize all parties OVK, Kake Tribal,

Plan ‘A’ – Intertie Follow Through
Plan ‘B’ – Begin to Explore Alternatives in This Order:
I. Biomass
II. Small Hydro
III. Wind
IV. Solar
3. Coordinate & communicate progress:
a. Create website & ‘digestible’ info for updates: Angel, Gary,
Adam
b. Post charts & progress notes (updates) at Post Office Bulleting
Board: Teresa & Patti
c. Deliver updates door to door w/ efficiency work: Bess & Ruth
