Native Village of Kwinhagak

The Native Village of Kwinhagak, in partnership with the Nunalleq Museum in Quinhagak, AK, will create a digital museum guide to facilitate on-site visitor experience of the museum's archaeological collection. The digital guide will feature a responsive mobile application containing a selection of interactive 3D artifacts from the collection together with co-curated interpretative content from climate scientists, archaeologists, Yup'ik culture bearers, artists, and elders. Project activities include gathering resources for inclusion in the guide, developing the back-end data structure, prototyping and beta testing the mobile application, and collecting community feedback. As a result, this historically and scientifically significant collection of Yup'ik materials will be better preserved, while also more accessible and engaging for museum visitors.
