In partnership with Michigan State University Libraries, the Native American Institute, and the Michigan Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP), the Anishinaabe Database Access Initiative (ADAI) is working to expand research opportunities for Tribal partners and Tribal colleges. Through this collaboration, NAI is facilitating access to academic databases—such as ProQuest—by including Tribal institutions under MSU’s existing licenses. This initiative empowers Tribal researchers with critical resources to support investigations into topics such as Indian boarding schools and repatriation and enhancing their ability to preserve and share Indigenous histories.
