Huna Totem Corporation

The Huna Totem Corporation, in collaboration with the Huna Heritage Foundation, the Alaska State Libraries, Archives, and Museums, and Washington State University, will apply Society of American Archivist standards to its archive collection by processing, describing, arranging, and creating finding aids and a database. The project will also create new content for the collection by conducting 10 oral interviews with community elders. The goals are to preserve Tlingit elders' knowledge for current and future generations, provide a missing piece of Tlingit history, and document clan belongings that hold traditional and cultural stories. Stakeholders will have access to local history and culture through audio and video recordings, photographs, and print materials of Hoonah culture and history that are held in a repository.
