Aleut Community of St. Paul Island

The Aleut Community of St. Paul Island Tribal Government will further develop its tanamawaa.com website, the main digital repository for source materials for the Unangam Tunnu language program. The website attracts over 2,000 visitors per year, and the project will add a section for resource materials after digitizing existing archival materials. Currently, archival and resource materials are stored as tape and older digital formats—the project will digitize recordings and make them searchable. The website redesign will include the creation of an integrated almanac that matches historic dates with archival recordings, thus contextualizing existing archive information. The project will benefit youth and adult learners and teachers of Unangam Tunuu who are engaged in active participation in the Pribilof School District and Bering Sea Campus language programs.
