Can America truly achieve energy independence? Power Paths is an inspiring documentary about how Native American communities are creating new ways to produce clean power as the Tribes attempt to restore lands devastated from the impacts of coal mining.

Working together, Hopi, Navajo and environmental organizations force the closure of a major polluting coal plant in Nevada. Many Tribes are now taking the lead by constructing large wind turbine projects on their own lands.

What we find is that their traditional values toward conservation and the earth are also solutions for the rest of America's energy dilemma.
