GHF is pleased to announce that we have been awarded a nearly $1M grant from the U.S. Department of Education to support our Haa At.oowú Haa Kusteeyíx̱ Sitee: Our At.oowú is Our Life project. The goal of this project is to preserve and proliferate Tlingit endangered art forms in the education system to improve educational outcomes of PreK-12 Alaska Native students in Math, Science, and English through the culturally relevant traditional knowledge. Curriculum units will be taught by artist apprentices.
