YANKOBGËK MINË DNEKMËGZÉK (Connect & Play)
Connect and Play’s mission is to deliver programs and services in a safe and socially distanced manner in order to keep GLT Citizens, household members, other Tribal members and staff connected with community, land, language, culture and history.
The Education, Environmental, Tribal Historic Preservation, and Language & Culture Departments are offering programming during this period to help keep the GLT community engaged and social. Virtual outreach will be made available from a variety of different media in order to increase knowledge and maintain connections and relations.
