Walker River Paiute Tribe

The Walker River Paiute Tribe will purchase program supplies such as Buckskin, needles, sinew, ribbons, and beads for cultural classes. It will also purchase book for literacy workshops. The library will contract cultural teachers for each workshop and tutors to help students during the school year. The library is focusing on using song and dance to facilitate cultural awareness, and community engagement through literacy. Classes include moccasin making, regalia making, beading class, drum making, and literacy events within the local school district and community. Funds will also support the salary of the Education Director. The project will provide direct benefit to tribal members with a particular focus on the youth of the Walker River Paiute Tribe.
