The Native American Institute (NAI) is partnering with the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP), to produce an online and print version of the Native American Resource Guide that expands on the guide that has been published out of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR) for over the last two decades.

A competition was held for folks to submit digital art creations and/or photos to possibly be included in the guide. Three winners were selected from roughly seven entries; a sampling of their work is shown below. Join me in congratulating these artists for their contribution. Be watching for their art to appear in the upcoming publication of the Native American Resource Guide!
