National Endowment for the Arts grants are being awarded to Montana projects like the MMIW play and Native ceramics. A round of federal funding will pay for western Montana workshops on Native American ceramic practices; elementary students learning poetry and Plains Indian sign language, translating some work into Salish, and an original touring play addressing the issues of missing and murdered Indigenous women. This is the first round of funding for the National Endowment for the Arts grants for fiscal year 2023, according to a news release.
