Speaker: Nancy Weiss, General Counsel, Institute of Museum and Library Services Facing the Challenge and Creating Resources–Funding the Heritage Center Great Plains Room Since opening its doors less than two years ago, the staff of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Cultural Heritage Center has enhanced the sharing of the tribe’s cultural heritage while at the same time using available resources to produce new revenue streams. In this session, two key staff members share how they help fund the Center by integrating the operation of the Cultural Heritage Center, consisting of the Tribal Museum, Library, Archives, Tribal Heritage Project, Event Center and Gift Shop. Presenters: Cindy Stewart, Executive Assistance and Facility Manager; Brandee Smith, Firelake Gift Shop Manager. Preserving Placenames: The Haa Aani: Our Land - Tlingit Project Frontier Room The National Park Service, tribal government, researchers, and tribal elders compiled more than 200 traditional place names for locations within the territory of the Huna Tlingit people. This information has been used to develop a high quality place names poster, a 25 square foot scale model relief map of Huna territory, and a state-of-the-art interactive computer “talking map” that assists the tribe in preserving the names and associated stories of the Huna Tlingit people’s land. The information has also been invaluable to archeologists conducting research on village and fort sites. This session will describe the process used in collecting place names information and the array of educational tools resulting from a single language project Speaker: Mary Beth Moss, Tribal Curator, Hoonah Indian Association From School Library to Cultural Outreach Center Green Country Room This session will present a case study on the development of a multi-generational educational complex that was the result of expanding the school library and educational technology rooms within the Shoshone Culture Center.
