About this opportunity

This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Services intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition to the Hoonah Indian Association for the amount of 166,464 to cooperatively complete the project described below. STATUTORY AUTHORITY: National Historic Preservation Act 16 USC 470a, as amended (PL-89-665.) STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: The objectives of this project are to complete a house screen to be displayed on the outside front of the Tribal House; to preserve ethnographic resources associated with the Huna Tlingit; to ensure that traditional skills and knowledge are passed from elders to youth; to interpret the project to the public as well as Hoonah community members; to document this and previous Tribal House cultural projects; and to complete a strategic plan for adorning the interior of the Tribal House. The house screen is a vital cultural component of the Huna Tribal House. Traditional Tlingit houses included carved and painted exterior screens as a means of identifying the affiliation of the residents and capturing their history and ancestral knowledge. HIA is the sole entity with the cultural expertise, traditional craftsmen skills, and cultural authority to complete the screen. Second, the completion of the screen will provide an opportunity to preserve relevant ethnographic information from published literature, oral history audio/video recordings, and ongoing elder interviews regarding the history and culture of the Huna Tlingit clans. This information will be used to design the screen and will be retained for future use by tribal members. The project will also provide a venue for skilled craftsmen to pass traditional skills associated with form line adzing to another generation. The Master and Assistant Carvers will instruct Hoonah City Schools (HCS) students, other community youth, and community members on a weekly basis. Importantly, the carving work site will serve as an informal classroom where craftsmen convey not only traditional skills, but also oral histories, life ways, and Tlingit laws and protocols. Traditionally, resource gathering activities in homeland were one means by which tribal elders transmitted traditional knowledge, cultural practices, and social mores to tribal youth. Unfortunately, an array of social and regulatory changes has drawn the Tlingit away from their traditional seasonal rounds in Glacier Bay, reducing opportunities for intergenerational learning. The Service and HIA believe that these ethnographic resources will be preserved by providing a venue that closely mirrors the traditional learning structure of the Tlingit whereby culture bearers convey traditional knowledge to youth in the course of everyday work. Last, the project will allow HIA to prepare an administrative history of this, and past efforts associated with cultural elements completed for the tribal house. An administrative history will serve as an important record of the project, including narrative documentation of the chronology of the projects, personnel involved, decisions rendered, etc. as well as an archival collection of photographs, recordings, etc. In addition, the project will assist HIA in identifying the types of utilitarian items necessary to furnish the interior of the Tribal House such that furnishing can be produced in future years. The partner, in cooperation with the National Park Service will: 1. Create a traditional form line design for the exterior front of the Huna Tribal House, transfer the design to cedar planks, and carve and paint the design. 2. Assign one HIA staff, the Master Carver, as the HIA Project Lead for the project to be responsible for all project activities and products including the house screen carving, travel logistics, purchases and budgeting, and general program oversight; and to liaison with the Service Project Manager. 3.
