Tlingit language learning to expand

 

Juneau students will have expanded opportunities to learn Tlingit language and culture over the next four years thanks to several grants the Goldbelt Heritage Foundation obtained. 

 

The foundation recently secured $3.7 million in four language and cultural education grants to help increase Tlingit language and cultural education efforts in Juneau students. 

 

One of the four grants, which are good for one to four years, was obtained in partnership with the Juneau School District. The "Wooch.een: Together We Can" grant applies specifically to the expansion of the Tlingit Culture, Language and Literacy program, or TCLL, implemented at Gastineau and Harborview Elementary schools.
