The energy crises revealed by COVID: Intersections of Indigeneity, inequity, and health
Description (Dublin Core)
This article highlights the glaring structural energy inequalities experienced by Indigenous communities in the United States. The Covid-19 pandemic has laid-bare many of the systemic inequalities in the United States, with Indigenous access to consistent and low-cost energy to be no exception. Access to energy is a bare minimum requirement for functioning society, yet it is commercialized and a steady income is required for access. With so many losing their jobs during this crisis, the article examines the concept of energy sovereignty and why it is key for Indigenous communities, especially now more than ever.
