本論文は、カナダのミニスティクワン湖クリー・ネーションにおけるエネルギー主権の障壁を分析し、コミュニティ主導のガバナンスがエネルギー転換の中心であると主張する。土地に基づく研究と共有サークルを通じて、エネルギー需要が土地とコミュニティの健康と不可分であることを示し、TRCの行動要請を枠組みとして、脱植民地化のエネルギーガバナンスのモデルを提示する。
English
This paper analyzes barriers to energy sovereignty in Ministikwan Lake Cree Nation, arguing that community-led governance is central to energy transitions. Using land-based research and sharing circles, it shows energy needs are tied to land and community health, and frames TRC Calls to Action as a scalable model for decolonizing energy governance globally.

日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX文脈では、先住民のエネルギー主権は直接的な政策連動は限られるが、地域コミュニティの関与と公正な移行の視点は、日本の再生可能エネルギー導入における地域合意形成やエネルギー貧困対策に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, this paper contributes to the discourse on just transition and energy justice, offering a model for integrating Indigenous rights and community-led governance into energy policy, relevant for countries with Indigenous populations and for international frameworks like the Paris Agreement.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Indigenous energy sovereignty allows First Nations to reshape energy systems to align with their lands, cultures, and collective futures. In Ministikwan Lake Cree Nation, however, energy sovereignty is hindered by systemic barriers: limited infrastructure, technical capacity gaps, and persistent exclusion from regional decision-making. This paper argues that community-led governance, the exercise of local authority over energy decisions, is the primary route for achieving energy sovereignty, defined here as the inherent right of a Nation to determine its own energy path. Central to this transition is a shift in how energy is understood. Rather than a technical end-state, energy sovereignty is an ongoing relational process rooted in Cree principles of self-determination and intergenerational responsibility. We explore this through a community-led approaches including a land-based research framework and co-developed by the Ministikwan Lake Cree Nation in partnership with our research team and guided by Elders and Knowledge Keepers. Using sharing circles and land-based learning, we show how energy needs are inextricably linked to the health of the land and community relationships. We situate these findings within the context of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's (TRC) Calls to Action, the primary policy framework for addressing Indigenous justice in Canada. While the TRC is a Canadian-specific mandate to redress colonial harms, its emphasis on equitable partnerships and the recognition of Indigenous law provides a scalable model for decolonizing energy governance globally. This work demonstrates that culturally grounded, environmentally responsible energy futures are only possible when Indigenous Nations lead the governance processes that define them.
