A Time for Change and Innovation – Native Arts and Distance Learning

Aug 11, 2021 | Blog, Native Arts, Our Programs

Community programming and events were canceled or postponed, greatly impacting TCUs, students, and the communities they serve.

To help TCUs during the transition, seven TCUs were awarded Distance Learning Grants. Each had a different approach on how they would continue to provide Native Arts programming while keeping their students and community members safe. Each explored how they were going to bring people together while keeping them safely apart.
