SACHEM BUILDING SOLUTIONS™ AND STRAMIT USA BRING GAME CHANGING CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL TO INDIAN COUNTRY

Sachem Building Solutions™, a division of Alekson Native American Enterprises LLC and Stramit USA announced today that they have signed an Agreement granting Sachem exclusive representation of Stramit CAFboard™ in Indian Country USA and the First Nations of Canada. 

Stramit’s process combines traditional light gauge framing with a proprietary and sustainable Compressed Agricultural Fiber (CAF) thermal insulator to yield Stramit CAFboard™, an environmentally friendly construction material that can replace traditional building materials such as fiberglass insulation, gypsum board, medium density fiberboard, particle board, and sound-proofing panels in a wide-range of commercial and residential applications. 

Stramit CAFboard™ is a sustainable construction material that is load bearing, structurally strong, non-toxic, carbon-negative, mold and pest resistant, energy-efficient, highly sound absorbent, nearly fireproof and most importantly 100 percent organic without any of the VOCs found in many traditional building materials.

“We are excited to be working with Stramit USA to bring this opportunity to Indian Country. There are more than 200,000 housing units required to fill the immediate needs of Indian Country,” comments Jim Alekson Sachem’s CEO. “We believe the unique characteristics of Stramit CAFboard™ can be used to fill this need. We have begun reaching out to modular housing designers to incorporate our renewable energy technologies in self-sustaining housing packages that can be self-erected with minimal construction knowledge.”

“We are pleased to be working with Sachem Building Solutions™ and Native American Communities,” said Tim Evans, Stramit executive vice president of sales and marketing. “Many traditional construction materials contain unhealthy levels of formaldehyde and other toxins. Additionally, many building materials are highly flammable, are poor heat and sound transfer barriers, and generate significant construction site waste that is deposited to landfills. We believe Stramit CAFboard™ is the perfect solution to overcome all these building-related problems.”

SACHEM ENERGY SOLUTIONS AND WEST CREEK ENERGY SIGN ACCORD

West Creek Energy Group, Inc. and Sachem Energy Solutions, a division of Alekson Native American Enterprises LLC, announced today that they have signed an Agreement granting Sachem exclusive representation of select, cutting-edge renewable energy technologies in Indian Country USA and the First Nations of Canada. 

The technologies represented by Sachem Energy Solutions center on West Creek Energy’s past successes of aligning itself with the best available technologies, world-class engineers and innovative visionaries who have collaboratively bound themselves to a common goal; providing green energy from sustainable resources. Sachem will be offering Torrefaction Systems, Heat Based Phytosanitation Systems, Wind Technology and other energy related capital equipment and systems held by West Creek Energy.

“We are excited to be working with West Creek Energy to bring this economic opportunity to Indian Country” “Forests across the United States are littered with the fire potential of pest killed trees and unwanted woody biomass.”  “Torrefaction technology, coupled with selective harvesting, provides a solution to that dilemma by converting unwanted woody biomass into a marketable renewable energy product.” stated Jim Alekson, CEO of Alekson Native American Enterprises. 

Torrefaction of woody biomass can best be described as a mild form of pyrolysis at temperatures typically in the range between 200° C and 320° C. The torrefaction process produces a high energy product with no biological activity. Densification of torrefied woody biomass into briquettes produces a very energy-dense fuel without the harmful emissions associated with fossil fuels.

Energy-dense briquettes produced in Indian Country will be marketed globally under the trademark SACHEM Hi-NRG.  Hi-NRG will help electrical power plants, cement manufacturers; steel producers and other coal fired industries around the globe meet the mandate of the Kyoto Protocol by offering a green energy solution to replace commonly used fossil fuels.

“We are pleased that our portfolio of sustainable energy technologies can help create jobs and diversify the economies of Native American Communities and First Nations in Canada.”  “This is an excellent program that brings together all stakeholders to create sustainable, renewable energy and help reduce the world’s dependency on less desirable fossil fuels to meet its energy needs.” comments Joseph W. Majka President/CEO of West Creek Energy.

SACHEM ENERGY WORKS ENERGY ALLIANCE

Sachem Native American Enterprises LLC, in a joint venture between Native American owned Alekson Development Group LLC and its Native American Partners, has today formed  an Energy Alliance trademarked as SACHEM ENERGY WORKS^TM. 

Sachem Energy Works^TM has been formed with the intention of exclusively delivering cost competitive electrical energy to Tribal Nations and their Communities across the United States.  During the coming year, Sachem Energy Works^TM intends to negotiate preferential power agreements with leading Power Utilities across the United States to bring cost effective electrical energy to Indian Country Communities. In addition, Sachem Energy Works^TM intends to enter into joint ventures with renewable energy developers, primarily in the Western United States, to feed electrical energy into the United States Power Grid earmarked for the benefit of Tribal Nations.  

All Tribal Communities joining with  Sachem Energy Works^TM  will (i) automatically become joint venture partners; and (ii) directly benefit from the revenue generated by  their purchase of electrical energy through the Sachem Energy Works^TM Energy Alliance.  A portion of all revenues generated by  Sachem Energy Works^TM will be directed to the endowment of Indian Country controlled Foundations with goals and objective aimed at improving  education, job training, elder care and economic diversification in Indian Country. 

Come join us as we develop a whole new paradigm for the delivery of electrical energy to Native American Communities across the United States.  

We welcome your thoughts, comments and suggestions.  It is through open communication and collaboration among all Indian Country Members that true long-term change can be achieved.

OUR MISSION

Over the coming months and years, we will be introducing to Native American Communities across the United States, cutting-edge 21st Century innovations in the fields of renewable and waste-to-energy technologies, methodologies and initiatives.  These patented technologies, proprietary methodologies and energy initiatives will include Wind, Solar, Tidal, MSW Processing, Torrefaction, Biomass Conversion and a host of yet to be discovered innovations.  Related technologies associated with our strategic global business resources include water treatment, high-yield hydroponic greenhouse food cultivation and creation of viable biomass for the Renewable Energy Industry. We live in exciting times.  We have an opportunity to make a real-world difference in the lives of many people and their Communities and in our relationship with the natural environment which sustains our existence on planet earth.  

Our Mission identifies with a quotation from Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955): “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution”.

We, as well as the generations that have come before us, are always in the midst of technological evolution originating in imagination.  Part of our Mission is to anticipate, identify, incubate and harness business opportunities originating and evolving in the world of technological innovation for Native American Communities. 

We will, from time-to-time, provide updated information regarding emerging technologies and look forward to your suggestions and comments.  It is through open communication and collaboration that true change can be manifested.
