The mission of the organization came to fruition because of an Indian Country Today article about the extreme cold weather and how tribal members were freezing to death in their homes.
The Initiative focused solely on straw-bale building techniques and emphasized housing self-sufficiency with partner tribal communities.
EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH: Red Feather provides hands-on training of all members of the Native American community (women, children, veterans, families and elders) for safe and healthy home technology and repair.
Red Feather is a partner with APS (Arizona Public Service) to present weatherization workshops and interventions to improve energy-efficient homes.
Red Feather engages volunteers from all walks of life to contribute to housing projects on Native American reservations.
