The next few years present a prime opportunity to advance policies and programs that will help ensure the survival of indigenous cultural institutions in the USA. With funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, ATALM is identifying the structure, activities,
and needs of indigenous archives, libraries, museums, cultural centers, and historic preservation offices. We are also examining ways cultural institutions can support language revitalization projects and Native artists. An outcome of the project will be
an Action Plan that will guide efforts to secure more funding and culturally responsive programs.<br>
