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.

for general operating support
Not An Alternative is a nonprofit organization that collaborates with communities on the front lines of critical environmental and social challenges. Since 2014, the group has run the Natural History Museum, a traveling, pop-up museum through which Indigenous and allied community leaders, artists, scientists, and researchers are producing exhibitions and alliance-building events, like the Snake River to Salish Sea Totem Pole Journey, and digital media on salmon storytelling to support the conservation leadership and stewardship initiatives of Tribes in the U.S. and Canadian West.
