The three-year grant for the program, which started in 2018, ends this year.
In its Citizen Centric report submitted to the Office of the Public Auditor, CAO said the program taught Carolinian culture and traditional skills to 1,295 individuals, children and adults, 5 to 75 years old.
In an earlier interview, CAO Executive Assistant John Tagabuel said the program was not just for Carolinian community members, but for everyone interested to learn traditional skills.
CAO said, “As a result of this program, some of the students who have taken the classes are now teaching the classes.”
Participants learned various skills, such as loom-making, mwaar-making, identifying fish, reading tide charts, singing, weaving, traditional dancing, beading, traditional medicine, lava-lava-making, subsistence farming and other related topics.
