This online toolkit outlines the basic steps of establishing a Native Arts & Culture Agency and provides access to NACC training sessions, project materials, templates, insights from the seven Cohort Communities, and additional resources. The toolkit is designed to guide you through the process of establishing a strong and vibrant arts council in your Native community. Each chapter outlines key steps and resources to navigate, empower, and celebrate the unique artistic landscape within your Tribal Nation.
Resources were curated and developed for the Native Arts & Culture Councils Pilot Project, funded by the Ford Foundation and administered by the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums. If you have resources to contribute, please reach out to projects@atalm.org.
