All Nations Company Overview
COMPANY OVERVIEW All Nations engages in work that will lead to stronger tribal governments, and an increased
presence of Native American and First Nations owned companies in the national and global
economies. It is important to not just build it…you must sustain it. We are involved in projects
that will bring the wealth back to tribal people by way of employment opportunities, education,
nation building and protection of traditional ways. All Nations looks to Saqiw’k Lnu’k, the
“Ancient Ones” to guide us in what we do today for our people and for generations yet to come.
Making our past our future.
All Nations is a Native American owned company that partners up with some of the most talented
and creative people working with tribes today. We assist in connecting tribes with philanthropists,
investors and innovative entrepreneurs who bring ideas with them which can greatly benefit Native
people and communities. All Nations engages in work that will lead to stronger tribal governments
and communities by developing an increased presence of Native American and Canada First
Nations owned companies in the national and global economies. We are involved in projects that
will bring the wealth back to tribal people by way of employment opportunities, education and
nation building.

All Nations Approach
APPROACH Business Advantages All Nations is the impetus behind the development and implementation of ventures that can take
advantage of the Buy Indian Act, sole sourcing and the U.S. Small Business Administration’s 8(a)
contracting and procurement for disadvantaged businesses. Our development services offer great
business opportunities in renewable energy solutions, clean energy ventures, and tribal
development and nation building. Such projects generate income from multiple sources to funnel
into tribal humanitarian, economic and social issues, training, education and nation building.
Tribes generally create federal corporations under Section 17 of the Indian Reorganization Act
(IRA) to conduct business. All Nations understands these regulations. By building and structuring
these businesses between investors and tribes or Native owned businesses, we bring together the
strong forces of financial backing and minority advantages in both the public and government
sectors. All Nations has the presence and corporate ability to navigate in pubic and tribal
environments and to secure investment and international business exchange.
Environmental Indigenous peoples are considered leaders in environmental stewardship and are known for their
long term devotion to protect Mother Earth. A tribe owned, operated and environmentally-
conscious company that trains Native people is a clear win for everyone. Many foreign countries
have a prodigious respect for Native American and First Nations made products, culture and
beliefs. A large part of our strategic vision focuses on countries wishing to be a part of Native
American made products and Native culture and beliefs. Native people are held in high regard in
many foreign countries, creating a niche waiting to be engaged.
Effectiveness as Regions Strategic planning, tribal engagement, business development, legislative voice and relevance as
sovereign nations have a greater impact if coordinated as a region. A regional approach allows
tribes and agencies to develop strategies that are effective in their specific locations and can
become a model for other regions to develop their own. Or, with some matters such as climate
change where climate knows no borders, a statement delivered as an entire region can be very
compelling. Global issues are best confronted when working together with our neighboring
countries and creating best practices together with full representation of stakeholders.
Cultural Sensitivity Tribal engagement requires providing the diligence to prove that the venture and vision is true,
honest and most importantly--tribally driven. Since tribal beliefs vary, having a thoughtful
approach to understand the fundamental culture of tribes of which all other matters build from is
not only insightful, but essential. Projects that will eliminate tribal reliance on federal
5
All Nations Approach
funds and train tribal people for gainful employment can bring about true self-governance and self-
determination as many Indian acts proclaim, but cannot deliver. This is true tribal sovereignty.
All Nations has identified the need to incorporate the tribal culture that has been lost through
decades of assimilation with true nation building for Native Americans and First Nations. It is
important for all governments to work responsibly together in a way that safeguards the
stewardship of natural resources by all nations, all people. All Nations recognizes the importance
of Netukulimk, which translated means “Living in the land”. Saqiw’k Lnu’k, the ancient ones,
were the first stewards of our nation and it is the belief of All Nations that we must learn about
them and our past, to be on the right track for the future.

All Nations History
HISTORY
The idea of All Nations was a vision over a decade ago for Rick and Tammy Getchell. They
dreamed of building a tribal youth camp, establishing educational and training programs for Native
people, and creating businesses that would be owned and operated by Native people. They wanted
to see a future that replaced the dependence tribes have on government funding and support with
mechanisms to maintain their own communities, provide sustenance and have effectiveness as
sovereign nations in matters that tribes have historically been left out of.
In 2013, Rick finished serving his second term as Tribal Chief of the Aroostook Band of Micmacs
of northern Maine and contemplated what his next move would be. His contacts with several
government agencies including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), encouraged Rick to continue working on behalf
of tribes and remain in his seat as the Tribal Co-Lead for the Northeast Regional Ocean Council
(NROC). Before the company had a name or even a business card, it was already fully supported
and the work was waiting. Together over dinner one evening, the Getchell family decided to start
their business and embark on this journey that the Creator put forth for them. They began with a
small desk in a spare bedroom and in just over a year, they were adding on an office. Tammy left
her job of thirteen years to work full time for their quickly-growing company.
They began as All Nations Consulting, a proprietorship providing tribal engagement and
consulting services. They have now added two limited liability companies. All Nations Global
Solutions, LLC was formed in August 2015 as a management company. Then, with Ken Morin
as business partner, All Nations Enterprises, LLC was created in January 2016 for business
development and is located in Tampa, Florida.

SERVICES
All Nations takes pride in the fact that we are a rather multidirectional company. We seem to
always have a copious number of ideas “in the hopper’. If it relates to Native tribes and benefits
tribal people, All Nations likes to be involved. We provide consulting, training, and presentation
services, but we are constantly on the lookout for new projects that can involve entire regions. We
believe in bringing our ideas together with other businesses, governments and tribes to promote
Native Americans and First Nations people to have an equal and meaningful impact on current-
day initiatives.
With the rapid growth of our first business steps as consultants, we are now excited to be launching
a completely new branch of development services that will offer great business opportunities in
renewable energy solutions, clean energy ventures, 8(a) contracting and procurement, and tribal
business development.
We work in connecting interested philanthropists, investors, businesses and educators with tribes
to support projects that will impact the social and economic settings of tribes. Such projects will
provide education and training and/or generate income from multiple sources to funnel back into
assisting with tribal humanitarian, economic and social issues affecting tribes today.
Our work will lead to stronger tribal governments, an increased presence of Native American
owned companies in the national and global economies, and the opportunity to bring the wealth
back to tribal people by way of employment, education and protection of traditional ways.

Strategic Planning
All Nations can assist tribes in setting a course for creating more vibrant, healthy communities.
The process begins with a socio-economic and demographic assessment of the tribe’s current
status, then encourages community involvement through meetings and focus groups. The result is
a holistic vision supported by attainable goals and objectives and a prioritized list of projects for
the tribe to accomplish over a set time period. We can assist the tribe in setting a course for creating
a more vibrant and healthier community.

capacity for applying for a Bureau of Indian Affairs Guaranteed Loan Program, making certain
that the tribe meets required standards. We may be able to provide access to potential investors to
help the tribe meet the equity requirement. If necessary, AN can provide proposal and grant
writing services as well as business plan development associated with economic development
projects.
Working with All Nations provides aggressive, professional and committed work that is free from
political and day-to-day operations, resulting in a greater return on your investment. We have a
team of expertise that can single out each detail and deliverable through an approach that allows
the tribe to reach its immediate and long-term mission, objectives, scope and goals. This
partnership will result in secured economic development for the tribe and for future generations to
come.

One of the foremost advantages of attending seminars and workshops is the opportunity to network with your fellow colleagues and to learn from others in attendance. All Nations knows that some of the best connections are made outside of training hours, so planning goes beyond the training. Venues and facilities are important to not only accommodate the requirements of the class, but also to provide for overnight stays, dining and comfortable meeting places.

Renewable Energy Products and Services
All Nations has joined forces with KKOS Group, a green technology company from Hong Kong
to manufacture and distribute new LED lighting and solar technology here in the United States and
Canada. This Native American-owned company manufactures and distributes a product made by
trained and educated Native American and First Nations people in the renewable energy industry.
We are creating jobs for Native Americans that will flow over to the general populous, generating
employment and an economic boost in this industry. Our company will soon be eligible for up to
$5mm in contracting through a Section 8(a) designation, and eventually expand to the $28mm
contracting level through joint ventures with tribes.
Our ready-to-go product is LED lighting technology for commercial and industrial application.
We have LED indoor, outdoor, flood lamps and street lighting for roadways and parks. Our target
market is federal agencies, tribal housing communities,
municipalities, states, commercial and industrial areas. We can
perform on site testing, energy audits for consumption
efficiency and provide custom LED lighting solutions
facilitating carbon footprint reduction initiatives. Our product
is the newest technology out there and reduces energy costs 70
to 80% more than anything on the market today. We use high
quality metals and a patented new technology to produce an
exceptional quality product and longer lasting bulb—all with a
five-year warranty.
First Nations tribes throughout Canada are seeking renewables and looking to step into this area
in a quick fashion, enabling them to ease away from social services from the federal government
and create jobs that will change the statistics of social service programs. There is a push for them
since the Canadian Government has changed how they will provide funding to tribes, leaving a
void of funds within every tribal community. In turn, the Provincial Government has pumped
additional training dollars and economic development funding into tribes to offset the reliance on
those social service dollars. In the United States, the Federal Government has mandated by an
executive order a complete reduction in the carbon footprint by incorporating and moving over to
renewables, all to take place now and in years to come. A robust set of executive actions and
private sector commitments have been put into place to accelerate America’s transition to cleaner
sources of energy and ways to cut energy waste. This opens the door for tribes to set up and assist
in meeting that need.

TEAM AND PARTNERS
Rick Getchell CEO, Owner
All Nations was founded in part by Rick Getchell, a former elected Tribal
Chief for the Aroostook Band of Micmacs of northern Maine. Chief
Getchell has worked for over two decades with his tribe, as well as with
numerous other tribes, state and federal agencies and governments in
areas such as health services, environmental protection, education, social
needs and cultural preservation. He served two terms as Chief and also
served his tribe in various other positions since the early 1990’s.
In his beginning years, Rick started working for his tribe shortly after
Federal Recognition of the Aroostook Band of Micmacs. In 1996, Rick
ran in the election and became one of the youngest tribal chiefs in United
States history. Chief Getchell worked with Harald Prins, a University Distinguished Professor of
anthropology at Kansas State University to establish a membership ordinance for the Tribe,
pursuant to statutory federal requirements. Rick has worked as the Head Start Director of Little
Feathers Head Start, which he played a significant role in the establishment of a school for the
youngest generation of the Tribe. During this period, the ABM Head Start program had its first
successful federal 3-year program review and established the Native curriculum for the school.
Rick’s experience as a tribal leader led him to serve on the National Indian Head Start Director’s
Association, specializing in Program Governance and on the Direct Service Tribes Advisory
Committee (DSTAC) for Indian Health Service.
In addition to his many leadership roles, Chief Getchell has worked alongside of various scientists,
archaeologists, and anthropologists to develop best practices for identifying and reconstructing
submerged Paleozoic landscapes and also for Paleozoic environmental reconstruction. This work
was performed through the University of Rhode Island, Narragansett Indian Tribal Historic
Preservation Office, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), and the Coastal
Resources Management Council.
Rick currently serves as Northeast Regional Planning Body (RPB) Co-Lead for the Northeast
Regional Ocean Council (NROC) under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), making history once again as the first Native American to ever hold the position. Draft
goals have been developed by the RPB to implement the National Ocean Policy and advance
regional ocean planning over the next few years. In the fall of 2014, the RPB tribal work group
All Nations
19
Team and Partners
put together a draft document called Tribal Consultation Best Practices Guidelines. The
development of this document is directly related to objectives of the Effective Decision Making
goal of the RPB and focuses on enhancing interagency coordination and improving respect for
customs and traditions of indigenous peoples in decision-making. Ultimately, the document will
assist in establishing regular and meaningful consultation and collaboration with tribal officials in
the development of federal policies that have tribal implications, strengthening the United States
government-to-government relationships with Indian tribes, and reducing the imposition of
unfunded mandates upon Indian tribes.
Chief Getchell also assumes a prominent position as Co-Chair of the Management Council for
United Tribes Power, a tribe owned clean energy company focusing on the sustainability needs of
Native people through a mission of bringing tribes together in a sovereign act of conducting
business internationally and augmenting cash flows for tribal villages and communities.

All Nations also boasts the talents of Tammy Getchell, the Chief’s wife.
Tammy has twenty years of tribal and municipal government experience.
Right out of college, she began working for the Aroostook Band of
Micmacs. Her first years were spent as a payroll clerk with her later years
spent monitoring grants for compliance.
In 2001, she began work as a Treasurer and Tax Collector for the Towns
of Mapleton, Castle Hill and Chapman, three individual municipalities that
operate under an inter local agreement in the State of Maine. This unique
municipal relationship works much like a consortium as it is cost effective
and offers a higher quality of service.
Tammy worked with the town manager to secure a regionalization grant through the State of Maine
to design special accounting software to accommodate the cash transactions, real estate
assessments, budgets, payroll and payables for three towns. She also took part in establishing the
legislation necessary for the Towns to share one account, bringing innumerable efficiencies to the
financial recordkeeping of the funds.

All Nations Team and Partners
Noetic International is a private company formed to address
complex business problems in the areas of intelligence, risk
assessment, threat mitigation and international business
development. Noetic is a network of professionals that assist
renewables and marine-based business leaders in achieving
success by using a unique methodology to increasing profits and
influencing long-term positive outcomes through collaboration. It is both a woman- and veteran-
owned company. They have secured an agreement with an environmental technologies entity for
a product to provide worldwide environmental remediation for federal agencies, states, tribes, the
private sector, and the public at large. Branding of this product by a 100% Native American owned
company is clearly in line with what All Nations is about and the long term devotion of the Native
American culture to protect our planet and the environment. Our company has a long lasting and
well respected name with EPA and NOAA with our ocean planning efforts. Marketing as a tribally
owned and operated environmental company that can provide the product, conduct the testing
(with certified and trained Native American people) and measure the impact of contaminants is a
clear win for everyone.
As part of their strategy of expanding their geographic footprint to the Northeast, Noetic and
ANGS are developing projects to ensure the safety and stewardship of the water we all rely upon
through water testing and environmental remediation services. Noetic offers expertise in all
elements of renewable energy and environmental remediation. They are currently working with
us to build a worldwide global strategic vision and market. The strategic vision focuses on
countries wishing to be a part of Native American made products and Native culture and beliefs.

All Nations Projects & Performance
PROJECTS & PERFORMANCE
United Tribes Power
All Nations conducts the recruitment of tribes and works at establishing the relationships necessary
to bridge tribal economic development directors and governments with the project managers of
United Tribes Power (UTP). Our lead consultant Chief Getchell sits as Co-chair of the UTP
Manager’s Council and has guided the process from the beginning by providing the cultural
sensitivity awareness necessary when approaching tribes, as well as his
experience with tribal government operations.
UTP is a tribal limited liability company formed to serve and enable all
North American tribes, First Nations and aboriginal people to participate in
sustainable energy solutions at significant scale for their own benefit and
that of UTP’s customers, employees, and partners. UTP is 100% Native
owned and is open to all American tribal nations, Alaska Natives, Pacific Islanders, and First
Nations—including to all 567 tribes recognized by the United States Federal Government, those
recognized by the states, and in time, the 630 First Nations of Canada and its provinces.
UTP is focused on generating and selling clean energy, but the
corporation mission is about traditional tribal culture and values,
all the while pioneering in clean energy best practices and
modeling the way from a tribal, humanitarian, and cultural aspect.
There are two guiding principles. The first is the preservation and
restoration of land, air and water quality by moving North
America toward clean energy generation and solutions. The
second principal is to drive funds into structured humanitarian
services for tribes and nations themselves, with emphasis on
Native people’s health and educational values.
All profits will be distributed as dividends to respective tribes on
an equal basis after covering an overhead cost structure that is
restricted to 9% of revenues or less. Half of these profits will be used for humanitarian efforts and
the remainder can be used in a manner directed by the respective tribal governments and economic
arm of the tribe or nation member individually.
UTP’s first business activity is the purchase and resale of clean electrical energy for delivery to
customers such as the U.S. federal government, NGOs, non-profits, cooperatives, utilities and
corporations seeking to lower their carbon footprint while supporting sustainable clean energy
production. Through the use of power purchase agreements (PPAs), UTP buys clean energy at its
27
All Nations Projects & Performance source, which is the world’s largest clean energy artificial reef and restoration project. It then
transmits or “wheels” that electrical power through interstate electrical grids or across national
borders, and delivers the power at a mark up to its customers. Profits are provided to member
tribes on a predictable and regular basis that is discretionary to member tribes. It all sounds simple
enough, but it takes management expertise including strong economic understanding, political
savvy, and advanced relationship skills to be successful in this business. That is why UTP employs
world class business and clean energy leaders.
UTP is a great idea whose time is now. Our mission is balanced with national goals and the laws
of nature—to be energy independent while nurturing the planet and the people that live on it. Using
a global-defining clean energy wind project and fair profits in support of Native populations, their
values, and their traditions is a way to drive a virtuous circle of protecting Mother Earth and
creating best practices in clean energy development. UTP showcases tribal nations as the pioneers
in restoration efforts and leaders in tribal energy resource development.
UTP was organized by an initial group of tribes working together with Joi Scientific, a clean energy
management group operating from the NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Joi Scientific is
a science lab partnered with NASA and Space Florida with the mission to produce and enable the
utilization of safe, affordable, sustainable technologies to benefit its stakeholders and the planet.
They strive to meet the basic human needs for clean air, energy, and water by harnessing the very
building blocks of life itself, hydrogen and oxygen, and the earth’s natural resources, through
application of non-disruptive new ideas and technologies.
Ocean Spatial Planning
The health of the ocean and the livelihoods that depend on it are vitally important to New England
residents, visitors, and businesses. In 2009, ocean-related economic activity totaled over $11
billion in GDP for the region, providing over 190,000 jobs. People in New England greatly value
this traditional ocean-related heritage and are seeking basic needs from the ocean—food, energy,
conservation, and others—in new and increasingly complex ways. Simultaneously, there is much
to learn about the ocean ecosystem, its natural resources, and existing uses that depend on those
resources such as fishing, shipping, and recreation. Better scientific information and a better
understanding of current and potential human uses of the ocean will enable New England to
achieve its economic goals and ensure healthy oceans.
In new England, ocean planning activities and partnerships have been underway for several years
at local, state and regional scales. These are excellent models to help guide a regional ocean
planning effort through the policies, public process and products that now exist and continue to
Sustaining New England’s Ocean Heritage
28
All Nations Projects & Performance evolve. Among other partners, there is much work that the Northeast Regional Ocean Council’s
(NROC) Ocean Planning Committee has begun that lays the foundation for future planning needs.
A Presidential Executive Order signed in July 2010, which established a National Ocean Policy to
better manage our oceans and coasts, gives further momentum to these efforts. This policy
encourages a comprehensive, adaptive, integrated, ecosystem-based, and transparent spatial
planning process, based on sound science, for analyzing current and anticipated uses of ocean,
coastal, and Great Lakes areas. The approach will be executed through the formation of Regional
Planning Bodies (RPBs) in nine regions of the U.S., which will develop regional ocean products
or a plan that is driven by specific needs of the geography and that builds on existing efforts.
Members of the Northeast RPB include federal, tribal, state, and New England Fishery
Management Council representatives, and its leadership is shared by federal, state, and tribal co-
leads. All Nations’ Rick Getchell is the first Tribal Co-lead ever appointed to sit at the table with
other stakeholders. NROC’s Ocean Planning Committee is an important resource for and
contributor to the Northeast RPB’s work.

Tribal Consultation
On November 5, 2009, President Barack Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum directing each
government agency to submit a detailed plan of action describing how the agency will implement
the policies and directives of Executive Order 13175. This Order by the President was to establish
regular and meaningful consultation and collaboration with
tribal officials in the development of federal policies that have
tribal implications, to strengthen the United States government
to government relationships with Indian tribes, and to reduce the
imposition of unfunded mandates upon Indian tribes.
Repeatedly, tribes have experienced that the Executive Order
allows the creation of policies on how consultation with tribes
will take place, ironically primarily without tribal input.
Therefore, parity among consultation plans does not exist. In response to this, the tribal work
group led by All Nations Rick Getchell, Tribal Co-Lead, put together a draft document called
Tribal Consultation Best Practices Guidelines. The development of this document is directly
related to objectives of the Effective Decision Making goal of the Northeast RPB and focuses on
enhancing interagency coordination and improving respect for the customs and traditions of
indigenous peoples in decision-making.
Nation Building
When one thinks of developing economic entities for tribal organizations, they might think that
this also means losing power, control and culture. This can be particularly true for tribal
governments that are used to providing 638 programs and housing, Indian Health Services and
other federal contracted services.
Economic arms of tribal governments need to stand free of control from tribal government micro
management and create true everlasting control through governance ingrained with traditional
values and culture. For example, many tribes use ancient ways such as elder’s councils or clan
systems. Through embodiment of these practices with modern governance, tribes can navigate
through today’s business world without losing their historical and traditional culture.
All Nations has created a Nation Building process that can be brought in to assist tribes of any size
and can begin and adapt at various points of development.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Chief Getchell here at the University of Rhode
Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography during a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management 3-day
workshop we organized and hosted that focused on opening dialog between representatives from
federal and state agencies, science, and tribes to develop “Best Practices” for identifying
submerged Paleo cultural landscapes and ancient Native American submerged cultural resources
on the continental shelf inundated by climate-related sea level rise. The importance and impact
of Chief Getchell’s dynamic presence and the ideas and words that he shared with us during that
workshop may not be overstated; they were significant contributing elements of a forward-thinking
and inclusive foundation of trust and respect we are seeking to build among a diverse group of
stakeholders.”
