The CCR program helps communities address the impacts of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic by safeguarding cultural resources and fostering cultural resilience through the identification, documentation, and/or collection of cultural heritage and community experience.
Projects should fall into one of two categories: community collecting initiatives or oral history programs. All projects must address the impacts of either climate change or the COVID-19 pandemic on one or more communities. The program welcomes both modest projects and larger ones and supports projects at any stage, from preliminary planning to final steps and implementation.
Project activities may take many forms including but not limited to:
- Collaborative planning to identify cultural and historical resources;
- Documentation of cultural and historical resources through digital means;
- Recording oral histories;
- Preserving Traditional Knowledge, practices, or technologies, and memories of elders and community, including in languages other than English; or
