Delaware Tribe of Indians

The Delaware Tribe will enhance tribal members access to the Delaware Library’s collections to support its existing operations and maintain core library services. Funding will allow them to continue to publish articles that share the wealth of resources in the library, archives and research stations through the Delaware Indian newspaper and the Lenape Connect, an app used to connect to tribal members, as well as work with tribal storytellers. Funds will also support a portion of the director salary and travel for its library workforce to skill-enhancing professional development meetings, including the International Conference of Indigenous Archives, Libraries, and Museums. The project will provide direct benefit to tribal citizens and community members within its project service area.
