ANSA was the recipient of A Journey to What Matters in 2015. Cultural classes were rarely held in Wrangell and the base of this grant was to provide more classes to our local people to increase their skill levels in skin sewing, beading, weaving and Tlingit form line drawing. ANSA partnered with Sealaska Corporation to hold a week long cedar basket weaving class. The local teacher Faye Kohrt and 18 students worked diligently to complete their projects. Thanks to this grant other classes were held as well. Gunal’cheesh!!!
Here are some photos that captured a bit of what was accomplished. Once again, thank you for the opportunity! We are continuing on with a Raven’s tail class this fall as well as making bentwood boxes. This has give our group a new perspective on how we want to shape our future!
