Chilkat Indian Village

The Chilkat Indian Village of Klukwan Community and School Library will gather and digitize unique physical materials related to Chilkat Tlingit history, traditions, and culture to preserve these collections and increase access to heritage resources through online digital archives. The project will use the Mukurtu content management system to provide broad access and further staff development in establishing and maintaining digital archives and responding to the need to share and preserve tribal knowledge, as identified in a Chilkat Indian Village community strategic planning session. Tribal members, Klukwan and area residents, online patrons, researchers, project team members, and future generations will benefit from accessing this rich tribal cultural and historical information.
