| 2018 | Institute of American Indian Arts Santa Fe, NM | A | $10,000 | paid | The IAIA MoCNA will build and expand its Social Engagement A1i Residency. In its fifth year, this residency seeks discourse driven Native artists to submit proposals, which outline and identify a social engagement project. The funds will support two Native artists in residence over a 10-day period for one year. The artists will engage in art collaborative projects creating new work with the support of IAIA, MoCNA and the Santa Fe community at-large. This residency serves as stimulus for Native American artists to generate community dialogue and dynamic experiences, transforming a community into a hub for positive social change that reflects the needs of the community, the institution, and artists. | 201911339349302386 |
| 2018 | Warm Springs Language Arts and Culture Movement Redmond, OR | A | $10,000 | paid | Warm Springs' Native Identity through Language Arts and Culture Movement Project within the Health and Human Services tribal branch. The project will consist of acknowledging the last Ichishkín (Sahaptin) speakers of all 4 dialects so as to produce works of art that inspire a sense of Native Nation identity. Community members, primarily youth, will develop relationships with community artists and elders to experience and create visual arts, literacy, music, or dance incorporating Ichishkín language. The project's goal is to entice thought and awareness about language loss among the Yakima, Confederated Tribe of Warm Springs and Umatilla-who speak dialects of Ichishkín-while also educating about Native identity for non-members. | 201911339349302386 |
| 2018 | Northeast Indigenous Arts Alliance Ashaway, RI | A | $10,000 | paid | Project is a two-phase youth art mentorship. Phase one is taking youth to the Native Arts market, Abbe Museum Indian Market (AMIM) in Bar Harbor, ME held May 18-20 to begin mentoring. Phase two continues the youth mentorship in the Narragansett Food Sovereignty Initiative (NFSI) project. The NFSI project teaches youth the history and origins of traditional foods, and to plant and harvest these foods. For the mentored youth, the project will extend to teach how to use the harvested natural materials in creating traditional arts of the Northeast region reflecting back to the Native art market experience. The additional feature of this phase is the focus on community building and the importance that comes with engaging all ages, and creating a sense of family in all of these cultural activities. The Northeast Indigenous Arts Alliance (NIAA) is a regional grassroots arts organization, working to support Indigenous art and artists in the region. | 201911339349302386 |
| 2018 | Burns Paiute Tribe Burns, OR | A | $10,000 | paid | Our project addresses the need to protect and continue to share our oral traditions, and to further expose our youth to the importance of protecting and revitalizing our Wadatika Yaduan as a critical part of the oral history transference. These oral history narratives will be the focus of skits/plays that are prepared throughout the funding cycle. To support the project, community members, led by our language program team, will also devote time to the creation of props, costumes, and puppets, etc., to use in the performance of the oral history narrative events. Our participating tribal elders will evaluate and provide consultation throughout the oral history narrative creation process. | 201911339349302386 |
