Grant Overview
The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is a country with a rich cultural heritage, comprising four states: Yap, Chuuk, Kosrae, and Pohnpei. The country's cultural landscapes are characterized by traditional land use and archaeological resources, which are critical to its identity and sense of self. However, these resources are threatened by human activity, climate change, and limited resources for preservation. To address this challenge, the grant supports cultural mapping projects that document traditional land use and archaeological resources. Unlike other countries in the region, FSM has a unique cultural context that requires a tailored approach to cultural mapping. The grant prioritizes projects that engage local communities in data collection, recognizing the critical role they play in preserving their cultural heritage. Applicants must demonstrate a clear understanding of FSM's cultural context and a willingness to work collaboratively with local governments, non-profits, and academic institutions. The funding supports a system-building approach, ensuring ongoing collaboration among stakeholders and the development of sustainable cultural mapping practices. By supporting cultural mapping, the grant aims to promote a deeper understanding of FSM's cultural landscapes and inform preservation efforts. ## Cultural Mapping in FSM ## The grant's cultural mapping component is critical to its success, as it seeks to document and preserve FSM's cultural heritage.

By providing training and resources to local stakeholders, the grant enables them to develop the skills and expertise needed to preserve their cultural heritage.
