$850,000 the first year and $850,000 the second year are for a competitive grants program to provide grants to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Minnesota.
The Minnesota Humanities Center must operate a competitive grants program to provide grants to programs that preserve and honor the cultural heritage of Minnesota or that provide education and student outreach on cultural diversity or to programs that empower communities to build their identity and culture. Priority must be given to grants for individuals and organizations working to create, celebrate, and teach indigenous arts and cultural activities and arts organizations and programs preserving, sharing, and educating on the arts and cultural heritage of immigrant communities in Minnesota.
To educate public on Ojibwe Language and Culture in northern Minnesota through audio/video podcast and videography.
I’ve created and uploaded audio podcast to YouTube, Facebook, and Apple Podcast, and worked on video and audio pieces. In addition to the podcasts - with the equipment I purchased - I created language-based posters/pictures/maps all in our traditional Ojibwe Language. Also with this equipment, I was able to create a couple of different versions of the AT logo.
