Seminole Nation Pool Annex
The Seminole Nation Pool Annex represents a major step forward in community health infrastructure — combining cutting-edge aquatic design with an innovative, energy-conscious building solution. As one of the first of its kind in the region, the facility will utilize a high-performance tensioned fabric structure, part of a growing national trend among municipalities seeking cost-effective, low-maintenance solutions for year-round pool operations.
The building is engineered to harness the natural greenhouse effect, using solar exposure and thermal mass from the pool water itself to maintain a comfortable environment through colder months — without the need for traditional HVAC systems. During warmer seasons, the structure allows for strategic ventilation and passive airflow across the water’s surface, naturally cooling the space and providing optimal conditions for both recreational use and health-focused programming.
At the heart of the annex is a saltwater aquatic system designed for low chemical use and maximum comfort. The facility will include a dedicated resistance area for physical therapy, wellness classes, and rehabilitation programs, offering citizens of all ages — especially elders — access to movement, healing, and recovery in a supportive setting. Fully accessible design, including an integrated wheelchair ramp, ensures the annex meets the needs of the entire Seminole community.
This isn’t just a pool annex — it’s a wellness-driven, future-ready facility that blends smart design, sustainability, and year-round service to support the long-term health and strength of the Nation.

Pawnee Nation Solar Program
The Pawnee Nation Solar Program is a bold and forward-looking initiative designed to advance energy sovereignty, environmental innovation, and long-term sustainability for the Pawnee people. At the heart of the program is a dual-system approach that combines utility-scale solar generation with a groundbreaking renewable energy research component.
The Nation is deploying a 5-megawatt solar array to directly supplement power for tribal constituents — dramatically reducing energy costs, stabilizing long-term utility access, and asserting greater control over the Nation’s energy future. This system is designed to scale with demand, allowing for future expansion as the community grows and energy needs evolve.
Complementing the large-scale deployment is a 150–300 kilowatt solar garden that serves as the testing ground for a state-of-the-art geothermal pilot project. In partnership with multiple universities, this pilot aims to repurpose decommissioned oil and gas wells into clean, reliable geothermal energy sources. If successful, the project could pioneer a replicable model for rural and tribal communities across the country — transforming yesterday’s extraction sites into tomorrow’s energy assets.
This program isn’t just about reducing a utility bill. It’s about transforming legacy infrastructure into generational opportunity, building energy resilience, and ensuring the Pawnee Nation leads with innovation, responsibility, and strength. The future of Native energy isn’t coming — it’s being built here.
