<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">The National Park Service's Tribal Heritage Grants Program (THG) is now accepting applications for competitive grants. National Park Service’s Tribal Heritage Grants Program focuses on protecting oral histories,
plant and animal species important in tradition, sacred and historic places, and enabling the establishment of tribal historic preservation offices. The THG Program is funded by the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) and is administered by the NPS. Congress
has appropriated $500,000 for the THG Program. Since 1990, more than $17 million has been awarded to over 460 Indian communities and Alaska Native Villages/Corporations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
