Kodiak Area Native Association

The Tangirnaq Native Village of the Kodiak Area Native Association will utilize grant funds to purchase materials, culturally relevant literature and publications for their library collection, deploy an outreach campaign to Tribal citizens residing both locally and outside Kodiak to increase usage of the library and website, as well as collaborate with the Pacific Northwest Alutiiq Culture Camp (PNWACC) and other experts to develop culturally relevant language learning resources and educational materials. These will be delivered to the public through multimedia activities and at least 4 virtual education sessions per year. These efforts continue to support Alutiiq language and Tangirnarmiut cultural revitalization movement which includes cultural activities, education and initiatives, as well as the revitalization of arts and Alutiiq language on Kodiak Island.
