Chippewa Cree Tribe

The Chippewa Cree Tribe will enhance the available library services for all community members in their rural location. The project will purchase supplies for its Cree-ative space at the library that features individual and group presentations on cultural teachings. It will also support cultural workshops led by local craftspeople covering Ribbon Shirts/Ribbon Skirts, Regalia, and Beading, a range of community events, and summer reading events. In addition, the library will invest in software and technical services that support its archive collections, as well as databases and periodicals. Through these activities, the project will provide valuable opportunities for learning and cultural preservation while increasing overall library engagement and promoting mental well-being.
