Nathan Kaye

Nathan is from Zagime Anishnabek nation in Treaty 4 territory, currently residing in Mohkinstsis (Calgary) of Treaty 7 territory. Helped organize the first ever Indigenous youth energy summit that brought over 200 Indigenous youth from every province and territory in Canada in 2019 to learn and discuss clean energy and environmental initiatives youth can explore. In recent years, Nathan has been actively reconnecting with traditional Indigenous ideologies of land based teachings along with his family and nation’s history to advocate for the importance of this knowledge. Currently finishing up a BBA for Finance, Nathan would like to pursue a career in project finance for environmental initiatives.

Covid-19 brought the opportunity to work on a food security project with Tsuut’ina Nation that consists of the community garden and the development of a geothermal greenhouse for year-round food production near their newly built highschool. Nathan has aspirations to work with Indigenous communities bringing green initiatives and projects to those communities while inspiring Indigenous youth to play a role in being stewards of the land.
