Tlingit language programs boosted

According to the Juneau Empire, the Goldbelt Heritage Foundation has recently
secured four grants totalling $3.7 million, and lasting between one and four
years, to create more opportunities for the teaching of Tlingit language and
culture in the Juneau area. One of the grants will allow the foundation to
partner with Juneau School District to bring language- and culture-bearers into
the schools and will allow a team from the foundation to conduct workshops to
help teachers and parents create a more culturally-responsive environment for
children.
