Tlingit language learning to expand

Juneau students will have expanded opportunities to learn Tlingit language and culture over the next four years thanks to several grants the Goldbelt Heritage Foundation obtained.

One of the four grants, which are good for one to four years, was obtained in partnership with the Juneau School District. The "Wooch.een: Together We Can" grant applies specifically to the expansion of the Tlingit Culture, Language and Literacy program, or TCLL, implemented at Gastineau and Harborview Elementary schools.

Goldbelt obtained three other grants as part of the $3.7 million package it announced:

• A three-year grant from U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's Administration for Native Americans that will help expand language curriculum available to schools;
• a four-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Indian Education, and
• a one-year youth activities grant from the city.
