The Old Minto Cabins Project
CHEI is working with the communities of Fairbanks and New
Minto to restore a number of the historic buildings of Old
Minto. Under the direction of Robert Charlie, a former
resident of Old Minto, CHEI has the cultural expertise
required to ensure that all village preservation efforts
will capture its unique historical architecture and cultural
integrity for the benefit of its visitors and the comfort of
its teachers, the elders.
Many of the materials needed to carry out the cabin
restoration effort and many of the services and materials
needed to run the camp programs will be purchased in
Fairbanks. Many of the people needed to restore the cabins
and to carry out the camp's operations will come from
Fairbanks, New Minto, and other national organizations such
as AmeriCorps*National Civilian Conservation Corps, and
Elder Hostel.
