ALA Public Programs Office

The American Library Association (ALA) Public Programs Office, on behalf of
the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), is now accepting applications
for Native Voices: Native Peoples’ Concepts of Health and Illness, a
traveling exhibition to U.S. libraries.

Native Voices explores the interconnectedness of wellness, illness and
cultural life for Native Americans, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians.
Stories drawn from both the past and present examine how health for Native
People is tied to community, the land and spirit. Through interviews,
Native People describe the impact of epidemics, federal legislation, the
loss of land and the inhibition of culture on the health of Native
individuals and communities today.

The opportunity is open to public libraries, academic libraries, tribal
libraries, tribal college libraries and special libraries. Libraries
serving Native populations are especially invited to apply, and
partnerships between libraries and Native-serving organizations are
encouraged. The exhibition will tour from February 2016 through June 2020.



For full guidelines and to apply online, visit
https://apply.ala.org/nativevoices. Applications are due Nov. 6, 2015.



Up to 104 selected sites will receive:

   - the traveling exhibition for a six-week loan period;
   - a $250 programming grant;
   - training through a required project webinar and online project support
   materials; and
   - a publicity kit to help with local promotion.

Native Voices requires 35 linear feet of display space and comprises six
standing banners, six iPads pre-loaded with video content and six iPad
stands. No internet connection is required, but an electrical connection is
needed.



Native Voices: Native Peoples’ Concepts of Health and Illness was displayed
at the NLM in Bethesda, Maryland, from 2011 to 2015. To learn more and view
content from the exhibition, visit http://www.nlm.nih.gov/nativevoices.
