Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians

This project will provide a full-time librarian who will develop resources and programs to draw more tribal members into the library. The installation of a half-mile of Internet cable will allow the library to offer high-speed access. Students will be trained to teach community members in an intergenerational computer literacy skills program. Through e-mail accounts at the library and Internet training, tribal members will be able to communicate with tribal leadership, service providers, teachers, and potential employers, as well as friends and family.
