How can Native communities and cultural institutions better support the work of culture bearers, artists, authors, and performers?  This 20-minute survey calls on all Native artists to contribute to a knowledge base and Action Plan that will help build support within Native communities, as well as within rural and urban settings where Native people are present.

After you complete the survey, you will be provided with an opportunity to register for the May 18, 2021 virtual Native Artists and Culture Bearers Summit where you may interact with artists, cultural organizations, funders, and others as we work together to develop Action Items that will benefit you.

The survey is conducted by the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums in partnership with the First Americans Museum, First Peoples Fund, Institute of American Indian Arts, the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, Native Arts & Cultures Foundation, and Native Nations Institute.  It is funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
