Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes

The Salish Kootenai College (SKC) will purchase books and materials that affirm their mission of collecting “all materials relating to the [Salish and Kootenai] tribes, their history, culture and Reservation affairs” with a focus on purchasing materials printed through SKC and Npustin Presses, a local Salish culture and language press. Funding will also purchase a new patron computer station that allow community members access to the rich resources held at the D’Arcy McNickle Library and support their library workforce to attend skill-enhancing professional development conferences locally and in the region to help strengthen the library services and build their network in the library field. The project will provide direct benefit to tribal citizens and community members within its project service area.
