The Indigenous Trades program promotes language revitalization and traditional arts to ensure the existence and perpetuation of our languages and unique cultural practices. The program collaborates with Elders, language scholars and educators, culture-bearers, artists, universities, and community partners to maximize resources.
The program offers virtual and in-person workshops by master artists and cultural practitioners in a variety of artistic practices. The program’s goal is to provide opportunities to all tribal citizens to ensure the language and ways of life of our grandparents continues. Tribal citizens and descendants are given priority to participate in opportunities.
