Haines School students. Chilkoot Indian Association bought the
custom ordered shoes from leftover SEARHC grant funding.
Staff let kids pick out their favorite pairs of shoes from an online
shopping site. The tribe purchased shoes for tribal members
and for children in families who might struggle to afford
shoes for sporting activities. It took them all day to let
about 60 students shop and pick their choice of shoes.
