Red Cliff Tribal Library Project: Ginanda Gikendaasomin (We Seek to Learn)
UW-Madison students using a Kaufmann Grant have completed a priorities assessment with the Red Cliff community, leading to a planned reopening of the library. They followed this by developing a class on tribal cultural institutions and engaging with other tribal communities. They intend to keep it up.
Outcomes
Small grants have already gone to the library, and Bayfield County has agreed to contribute to the library because it has made a good beginning. Red Cliff has hopes of being able to keep the Lac Courte Oreilles Community College operating in the reservation, and the Tribe has been able to submit proposals for stimulus funds.
