A big thank you to everyone who attended PowerMakers 2025! We now have a 2 minute short film showing some of the highlights.

PowerMakers 2025 built on the capacity and knowledge of future First Nations leaders to support communities in the clean energy transition.

Our goal was to equip participants with the knowledge, skills and resources needed to ensure they emerge from PowerMakers capable of successfully advancing clean energy projects and driving positive change in communities.

From nearly 100 applicants, 26 emerging First Nations leaders from around the country were selected to participate in PowerMakers 2025, delivered in October 2025 in Mparntwe (Alice Springs), including Neena Walker, Justin Toomey-White, Carly Taylor (nee Blackman), Chloe Smith, Cherie Sibosado, Jumeka Saunders, Brian Lee, Trevor Prior, Mitzi Nam, Dan Mason, Jonathon Malone, simone jordan, Christie Haynes, Mike Gilby, Shane Fry, Shenda Evans, Aleeta Dixon, Tracey Dillon, Belinda Churnside, Lennin Anderson, Trinity Clarke, Andrea Cameron, Nikischa Singer, and Carol Yamashita.

Thank you for coming PowerMakers! Your enthusiasm for clean energy and First Nations participation, leadership and benefit-sharing is immensely significant, and highlights how far we’ve come in the last few years.
