McGrath Community Network

Collaborating and Sharing Knowledge


    This innovative survey was created by Natalie Baumgartner in McGrath, Alaska. She found Lone Eagle resources
               via a Google search and created a narrated "vision" powerpoint for the community to become intentionally innovative.
                 Sadly, her efforts were not embraced quickly enough, and the school has since closed, and many young families have left
the village, leaving the future of McGrath Alaska very much in question.
