Overview
Not An Alternative is a New York-based collective and nonprofit organization that works at the intersection of art, activism, and pedagogy to affect popular understandings of events, symbols, institutions, and history. This grant allows Not An Alternative, in partnership with the Sovereignty and Treaty Protection Office of the Lummi Nation, to bring its Museum of Natural History exhibit to communities across the Pacific Northwest for a touring program that aims to build intertribal alliances and increase public attention and support for the salmon of the Snake River, and the critically endangered orcas who rely on them.
