Happy Native American Heritage Month!

To celebrate, we have uploaded and released 9 of Dr. Tammy Greer's 2022 Library of Congress Community Collection project interviews that we featured on our 2023 Indigenous Gulf Stream. Her project's name is "And We Are Still Here: Indigenous Culture Bearers of Houma Communities".

The interviews are near the top in a playlist entitled "Library of Congress Interviews 2023". Enjoy!

United #Houma Nation receives $56 million from #Biden-#Harris Administration for #climate resilience

The #UnitedHoumaNation is the largest tribe in #Louisiana with about 19,000 citizens. Most of them live along the coastal bayous in the southeast. Because of that, land loss and #ExtremeWeather intensified by #ClimateChange are threatening the tribe’s existence... #NOAA is partnering with the tribe on the project and will share its science, data, training resources

"The United Houma Nation, the largest #Indigenous tribe in #Louisiana, has secured a $56.5 million grant to enact a massive plan to deal with growing climate risks that tribal leaders hope will serve as a model, ranging from infrastructure improvements to potential relocations.

The grant to fund the hazard mitigation and resilience plan was announced at a press conference in Houma on Friday organized by the tribe. The money is being awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and U.S. Department of Commerce.

Over the next five years, tribal members and partnering organizations will build resilience hubs across the six-parish tribal area, expand a disaster-ready communication network and ultimately establish a community-led migration plan. The plan is designed to create stronger infrastructure and enhance the short, medium and long term needs of the tribe’s 19,000 citizens."
