Tananáwit grant to help artists recruitment
Tananáwit is a coopera-
tive group supporting the
work of tribal artists of the
Confederated Tribes of
Warm Springs.
Tananáwit will have a
permanent home in the
small business incubator
building, the Commissary
project of the War m
Springs Community Action
Team.
The group will have a
strategic business plan, add-
ing a professional artistic
component to the small
business building.
Tananáwit, a partner
with the Museum at Warm
Springs and the Community
Action Team, will recruit a
group of 35 artists and busi-
ness-owners to develop a
strategic plan that will allow
them to open an artisans’
store.
The Native Arts Insti-
tute, based in Colorado, re-
cently awarded 15 new
grants under totaling
$459,000.
Tananáwit
received
$32,000 from the institute.
The funding will help the
co-op to ac-
complish its
artist recruit-
ment goal.
The First
Nations Na-
tive Arts Insti-
tute launched
in early 2014.
The long-term
goal of the group is to sup-
port the perpetuation and
proliferation of Native
American arts, cultures and
traditions as integral to Na-
tive community life.
From 2014 through
2018, First Nations has
awarded 51 NAI grants to-
taling more than $1.4 mil-
lion. The funding has gone
to Native-led nonprofit or-
ganizations and tribal gov-
ernment programs serving
Native American artists.
The purpose of the NAI
grants is to strengthen the
enabling environments in
which First Na-
tions’ grantees are
operating to sup-
port emerging and
established Native
artists and sustain
traditional Native
arts.
Under the NAI,
grantees receive
organizational and program-
matic resources, including
direct grants and technical
assistance and training, to
support their increased con-
trol of assets across five as-
set groups: Institutional as-
sets, arts and cultural assets,
human capital, social assets,
and economic assets.
First Nations believes
that by strengthening these
assets, our grantees will be
better positioned to con-
tinue their vital work of fa-
cilitating the sharing of tra-
ditional artistic knowledge
between generations and,
ultimately, the perpetuation
and proliferation of Native
arts in their communities.

clude:
Other recent grantees,
in addition to Tananáwit,
include
the

Wicohan, the Gila River In-
dian Community, the Hopi
School Inc., the Indian
Pueblo Cultural Center, the
Keya Foundation in South
Dakota, the Lac du Flam-
beau Band of Lake Supe-
rior Chippewa Indians, the
Oneida Nation Arts Pro-
gram, the Oyate Network-
ing Project, the Pine Ridge
Area Chamber Of Com-
merce, and the Santa Fe
Indian School.
