COUSHATTA TRIBE OF LOUISIANA NAGPRA REPATRIATION GRANT

THE COUSHATTA TRIBE OF LOUISIANA WILL CREATE AN INDOOR-OUTDOOR EXHIBIT BASED ON THE KOASATI CONCEPT OF IHOOCHASTONTIHCHOTOK (BRINGING (SOMETHING) FROM THE PAST INTO THE FUTURE). IT WILL INCLUDE A SERIES OF IMMERSIVE, INTERCONNECTED, MUSEUM WALKING AND DRIVING EXHIBITS THAT SHOW VISITORS HOW THE LONG-AGO TIME (IHOOCHAKITTAP) AND PRESENT TIME ARE CONNECTED THROUGH DAILY HABITS, VALUES, AND SHARED ACTIVITIES. BOTH ONLINE AND IN-PERSON OPTIONS FOR PARTICIPATION WILL BE AVAILABLE. ON-SITE, THEY WILL REPLACE HIGH-TOUCH IMBEDDED DIGITAL DISPLAY SURFACES WITH IPADS THAT CAN BE SWAPPED OUT AND CLEANED SEVERAL TIMES A DAY TO RESPOND TO PANDEMIC-RELATED ISSUES. THEY ALSO PLAN TO EXPAND OUTDOOR WORK AND DEMONSTRATION AREAS FOR TRIBAL ARTISANS AND OUTDOOR INTERACTIVE AND EXPERIENTIAL EXHIBIT AREAS. THESE NEW EXHIBITS RESPOND TO THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS AND HEALING THROUGH EXHIBITIONS, PROGRAMS AND EVENTS THAT HIGHLIGHT THEIR CULTURAL RESILIENCY FOLLOWING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT IS TO PURCHASE AND DISTRIBUTE LOCAL FOOD TARGETING PURCHASES FROM SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED FARMERS AND RANCHERS. IT WILL PROVIDE FOOD ASSISTANCE TO THE COUSHATTA TRIBE OF LOUISIANA TRIBAL COMMUNITY. THE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT WILL LEVERAGE EXISTING SMALL, LOCAL PRODUCER RELATIONSHIPS TO SERVE AS PRIMARY PROCUREMENT AGENT, ACQUIRING LOCAL PRODUCT INFLATED BY ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS AT A STABLE MARKET RATE DIRECTLY FROM SMALL, LOCAL FARMERS IN FAVOR OF DOCKS/PROCESSING FACILITIES. THE TRIBE?S PROCUREMENT AGENT WILL USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GAUGE THE AVAILABILITY OF SOCIAL DISADVANTAGED AND UNDERSERVED PRODUCERS IN THE AREA AND WILL SOURCE DIRECTLY FROM THESE PRODUCERS WHEN LOGISTICALLY FEASIBLE. THE TARGETED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT BEING CRAWFISH, THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT WILL SOURCE DIRECTLY FROM SMALL, LOCAL FARMERS INSTEAD OF PROCESSING FACILITIES OR DOCKS. THIS WILL PROVIDE A MUCH-NEEDED SOURCE OF ECONOMIC STABILIZATION FOR THE LOCAL PRODUCER AND TRIBAL MEMBERS IN PARTICIPATING IN THE ANNUAL CRAWFISH SEASON. THE GOAL IS TO PRODUCE A YEARLY REPORT THAT SHOWS TOTAL PROCUREMENT AND TOTAL DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE TRIBAL GOVERNMENT IN HOPES THEY CAN CONTINUE A SIMILAR PROGRAM AFTER FUNDING IS COMPLETED. THE REPORT WOULD ALSO BE AVAILABLE TO ANY OTHER ENTITY THAT MAY BE INTERESTED IN OUR PROJECT?S RESULTS. QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE REPORTS WILL BE SUBMITTED TO CAPTURE THE NUMBER OF PRODUCERS, SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED FARMERS AND RANCHERS, DISTRIBUTION SITES, AND UNDERSERVED LOCATIONS AS WELL AS FUNDS EXPENDED FOR EACH CATEGORY. ANNUAL REPORTS WILL PROVIDE PERCENTAGES OF NEW MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES AND PURCHASES DISTRIBUTED BEYOND CURRENT FOOD DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS. PRODUCER BENEFICIARIES WILL BE AT MINIMUM 5 SMALL, LOCAL FARMERS AND SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED AND UNDERSERVED FARMERS WHEN AVAILABLE. THIS WILL HAVE A LARGER IMPACT DUE TO THE TRIBE PURCHASING DIRECTLY FROM SMALL, LOCAL FARMERS IN FAVOR OF LOCAL DOCKS/PROCESSING FACILITIES. THE TRIBE ALSO EXPECTS TO SERVE APPROXIMATELY 215 NATIVE AMERICAN FAMILIES LIVING IN THEIR IMMEDIATE AREA. THE RECIPIENT PLANS TO SUBAWARD FUNDS TO THE COUSHATTA TRIBE OF LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
