Native American Cultural and Historical Institute

Purpose and Mission Statement


The Native American Cultural and Historical Institute (NACHI) exists to preserve and enhance access to Native American culture, history, and linguistic heritage, and to facilitate the educational opportunities for Native American Students and scholars.

As an ongoing project, we hope to provide a shared pool of cultural and historical resources for a variety of tribal groups. By becoming a Tribal Sponsor, we can in cooperation with you, set up and host your own Tribal Study Room which you can share, or keep private, to whatever degree you wish.

Utilizing advanced technologies in information management and intelligent retrieval techniques, we endeavor to provide to the Native American community and to indigenous peoples worldwide, a means by which they might preserve, research, and dynamically study the cultural materials most important to them, while using their own Native Language systems in concourse with a traditional English language based approach.

It is our hope that these efforts will assist in rehabilitating knowledge and pride in our collective past, so that we may all forge forward into this new millenium without ignorance of what has come before, and with a solid grounding in how we have all evolved.
