Dr. Rosita Worl, president of the Sealaska Heritage Institute, speaks Wednesday about plans to build a Sealaska Heritage Arts Campus in the current location of the Sealaska Corporation parking lot.

SHI this week received word that it received a federal grant of more than $5.6 million for the $12 million project, which — along with donations and grants from other sources — puts the project at 70 percent toward its funding goal.
