Doc Meister - C) Traditional Arts & Crafts

for Kotlik Community Development Plan

C) Traditional Arts & Crafts (ID: 2236)

FUTURE NEEDS:

There is need for a facility that will allow residents to work on traditional arts and crafts projects. Yupik technology such as construction of the kayak, fur parkas, seal skin boots and other traditional arts need to be passed on to the younger generation. Utilization of a work area for such projects has potential for sale of arts and crafts by local artists. Creation of this new economic opportunity will enable local residents to earn additional income to pay for amenities necessary for current village survival.
