Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians

The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians will provide collection development and programming supplies to support their existing operations and to maintain core library services for their community. They will support travel for their library workforce to attend skill-enhancing professional development meetings and conferences and will offer learning opportunities to community members in a variety of formats, with a focus on expanding knowledge of Anishinaabe people and culture, fostering literacy, and teaching stress reduction techniques. The project will benefit more than 4,000 enrolled tribal members in the library’s service area.
