Kandi Mossett is an enrolled member of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nations located on the Fort Berthold Reservation within the state of North Dakota. She graduated from the University of North Dakotas Earth Systems Science and Policy Program in December of 2006 and now holds a Masters of Environmental Management. She began working for the Indigenous Environmental Network as the Tribal Campus Climate Challenge (TCCC) Organizer in February of 2007.
The TCCC is a project slated to involve more than 40 Tribal Colleges across Canada and the U.S. The goal of the program is to leverage the power of young indigenous people to organize on Tribal college campuses and high schools in order to win Clean Energy policies at their schools. The challenge itself is a project of Energy Action, which is a coalition that unites a diversity of over 40 organizations in an alliance that supports and strengthens the clean energy movement among students and young people in the United States and Canada. The partners of Energy Action work together to leverage our collective power to create change for a clean, efficient, just and renewable energy future.
