Through board member Robert Uhrle and our Artist-In-Residence Shane Eagleton (Rotuman), we serve the Pacific Islander communities through research, education, and advocacy.
Specifically, we are developing a cross-cultural program between California Indian and Pacific Islander youth. Our pilot project will take place between the Kashaya Pomo tribe and Hawaiians on the Big Island.

AIGA's executive director Robert Uhrle (Samoan) serves on the board of directors of The Cultural Conservancy. To assist in incubating AIGA, TCC provided technical assistance and support to the AIGA project by being its fiscal sponsor before it became it's own nonprofit organization. The Cultural Conservancy continues to provide training and support to AIGA and we collaborate on funding, education, and outreach activities.
