The Chippewa Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy Reservation received a $106,548 Project Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the Native American and Native Hawaiian Library Services program (CFDA 45.311). The grant will be used to improve access to the Stone Child College/Rocky Boy Community Library's resources and promote preservation of the Chippewa Cree culture. Specifically, the funding will support 12 community events on topics such as Cree language, storytelling, and native plants. Additionally, the grant will fund two one-day workshops for local artists and craftspeople on subjects like ribbon shirts/skirts, traditional cooking, and historical tours. The grant will also cover the purchase of archival supplies, periodicals, and subscriptions, as well as the renewal of a digital archiving platform to store the library's digitized collection items. This project will directly benefit the community members of the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation.
