Karuk Tribe

Log Number: NG-03-19-0227-19

The Karuk Tribe will expand and enhance the Tribal Libraries network; strengthen strategic partnerships between 3 tribal communities; peak youth's learning interest with peer-produced Karuk language videos; and increase access to both physical and virtual language resources, following established best practices and Karuk protocols. Project activities challenge a widely expressed, ongoing struggle: with 4 first language speakers and 10 second language speakers, the Karuk language is at a critical stage of survival. Activities include development of thematic language lesson video clips and workshops at the computer center with the goal of increasing intergenerational knowledge transfer, youth's language learning interest, and the technology skills of both library staff and youth.
