Equipping Tribal Citizens for Subsistence Harvesting
The AITRC Subsistence Harvest Tools Regrant supports Ahtna Tribal citizens by providing essential tools and supplies for traditional harvesting activities. By equipping citizens with these resources, the program helps sustain cultural practices, encouraging knowledge-sharing and ensuring traditional methods are passed on to future generations.
Program Overview
The Subsistence Harvest Tools grant has had a significant positive impact on Ahtna communities, promoting community sharing and hands-on education. We continue to seek funding to offer similar opportunities in the future. This regrant reflects our commitment to sustaining these valuable traditions.
Stories from the Community
The Subsistence Harvest Tools grant has enabled many Tribal citizens to connect deeply with traditional practices. Some of the highlights include:
-
Generational Knowledge Sharing: Recipients have shared knowledge on building fishwheels, processing harvested meat, and safe handling techniques, fostering a culture of intergenerational learning.
-
Community Impact: Harvested resources are widely shared, supporting not only the hunters’ families but also the broader community.
Looking Forward
We are committed to securing future funding to continue supporting Ahtna Tribal citizens in their subsistence harvesting efforts. Each new cycle of this grant deepens our dedication to preserving our shared heritage and traditions.
