Koniag, Inc. will develop a comprehensive, community-informed plan for a new set of Alutiiq heritage exhibits for their museum, the Alutiiq Museum & Archaeological Repository. Project activities will include working with an Alaskan exhibit designer to engage community members in exhibit conceptualization; create a schematic design tied to an exhibit style guide; develop a draft script with objects, photos, and Alutiiq vocabulary; create a de-installation plan for the current exhibits; draft a budget for design and fabrication; and mentor staff in exhibit development. The process to develop the community-informed exhibit plan will help the museum strengthen relationships with, and better understand the needs of, its native community.
