I applied pre-covid but this year won't work for me, and I'm not applying.
It sounds like an amazing opportunity.

American History and Culture Educator Workshops

The Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation is accepting applications from
educators to participate in two weeklong workshops sponsored by the
National Endowment for the Humanities.

The workshops, entitled “Heart Mountain, Wyoming, and the Japanese American
Incarceration,” will take place June 19-24 and July 24-29 at Heart Mountain
Interpretive Center and other sites around Cody and Powell, Wyoming. The
NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture grant program, which provided
funding for these workshops, was developed to teach educators, using
place-based pedagogy, about key aspects of American history. There is a
$1,300 stipend to help defray travel and lodging costs.

Participating K-12 educators will hear from a faculty of international and
local experts about the forced removal and incarceration of 120,000
Japanese Americans from the West Coast during World War II. The workshops
will place these events in the larger context of Wyoming history, and will
include segments on Native American history related to Heart Mountain and
the stories of the homesteaders that moved onto the project after the camp
was closed.

Heart Mountain received a similar grant from the NEH in 2019, but the
in-person workshops slated for 2020 were postponed due to the COVID-19
pandemic. The workshops were later held online, in the summer of 2021.
Heart Mountain plans to hold the summer 2022 workshops in person. “Last
year’s online events were very successful,” executive director Dakota
Russell said, “but we are especially excited about bringing educators to
Wyoming next summer.”

Workshop organizers are seeking a diverse group of educators from around
the country to participate. A total of 72 educators, from 31 different
states, took part in last year’s sessions. The Heart Mountain Wyoming
Foundation will select another 72 participants for the upcoming workshops.

The application period ends March 1, 2022. Successful applicants will be
notified by March 25, 2022.
