Hydaburg Cooperative Association

This Basic Grant will be used to expand access and services at the Hydaburg Tribal library. This expansion will result from achieving four primary outcomes: 1) An increase in the Tribe’s collection of books and other contemporary and historical print materials relating to the Haida Tribe and people of Hydaburg Alaska, through purchases and donations; 2) An increase in the number of hours that the Tribal library will be open to the public; 3) An improvement in the consistency of Tribal library open-hours by creating a Backup Librarian position; and 4) Haida culture experts and Elders will offer activities and workshops at the library on topics including: Clan and family genealogy and crests, beading, weaving, form-line drawing and design, and Haida language.
