Mission: Old Minto village is located on the banks of the Tanana River about 50 miles southwest of Fairbanks, Alaska. It was settled in the early 1900s by Athabascans, led by Chief Charlie, from the Minto Flats area. In 1971, the village was relocated to a site on the Tolovana River, currently the village of Minto. Old Minto continues to be an important cultural, historical, and spiritual place for Minto community members and the public. CHEI's Executive Director, Mr. Robert Charlie, an Athabascan who grew up in Old Minto, founded CHEI as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in 1984. CHEI develops and implements programs, in coordination with Minto and with strong support from its elders, to foster interaction between the elders and youth, preserve the cultural heritage of the Athabascans, and share it with the public.
