“It’s a partnership. When eligibility is determined, we then contact the tribes, tribal organizations, native corporations and we then let them know that there is a grant opportunity out there. “It’s a partnership.” Messages from the federal government do not always reach rural Alaskans.” That process will start with a pilot program where tribes will receive grants to establish new schools and offer input on future legislation that could make state-tribal schools more widespread.

She said enthusiasm from both students and parents was valuable. We’re not improving communities,” Peterson said. Navigators are even able to travel to some tribes to help them to apply for the needed programs.

“We’re measuring our success right now by kids being happy, wanting to be in school, and parents giving nothing but positive feedback,” Twitchell said. Through doing this, they can build relationships with tribal members and tribal administrators in order to be included in the programs that provide post-pandemic recovery assistance into the future. “It brings resources back to the communities that need them the most,” Kenick said.

The program says this year’s offerings include additional one-time funding, and there’s a variety of different grants that the tribes are able to apply for.. Its all-in an effort to bring that funding back home where it’s needed and to get those in need back on their feet.
