“This is the third year IMLS has awarded museum
grants to Native American tribes and groups that primarily
serve Native Hawaiians. These grants support the educational
missions of museums and build the skills and knowledge
of individuals who provide museum services. The grants
also help with disaster preparedness, strategic planning,
improving technology, collections care and management,
and hiring of staff.”
