The U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded a $142,675 Project Grant under the Native American and Native Hawaiian Library Services (NANH-L) program (CFDA 45.311) to the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin. This 2-year grant will enable the Ho-Chunk Nation's Waagax Hakiruxara Hosto Library to build a collection of library materials, supplies, equipment, and furnishings that promote shared knowledge and learning opportunities. The library will focus on acquiring books and resources that feature Native American cultural viewpoints and perspectives, and will utilize approaches such as book clubs, events, artistic activities, and a new website to protect Native voices and promote the Ho-Chunk Nation's identity. The grant supports the Ho-Chunk Nation's efforts to ensure that books, especially those reflecting Native American experiences, are available to readers of all ages within their community.
