The Jilkaat Kwaan Cultural Heritage Center in Klukwan, north of Haines, has been awarded a $350,000 loan by the federal government.
The loan, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Community Facility Direct Loan program, will pay for the completion of the center’s interior.
Loan money will be used to finish the classroom and office spaces within the cultural center dedicated to the Chilkat Indian Village.
