Conclusion

We received our first USA grant award, which was $5,000 from the Nisqually Indian Tribe. This money will be applied to future cultural exchange with this tribe. Our $3,040 raised from donations was short of our goal for our programs, so most of the program expenses were covered personally by the organizers, participants, and volunteers.
