project grant recipient comments |
Cama’i Susan,
I want to thank you and the CIRI Foundation for your financial support with our Traveling Traditions program here at the Alutiiq Museum. I know and feel that it was part of this program that allowed me to receive the MacArthur Fellows Award. It is truly humbling in receiving this honor. The real honor goes out to wonderful people like you and your foundation that helps all of us make a difference one person at a time. We thank you for taking the chance in supporting our programs and allowing us to change the future of our people for the better and look forward to working with you in the future.

Dear Ms. Anderson,
We are writing to thank you for sponsoring the Native Cultures in the Community Program. Patricia Wade came to our school and told our class some wonderful Athabascan stories. My students thoroughly enjoyed this time. Thank you!
