The Native American Cultural and Historical Institute exists to provide a shared pool of cultural and historical resources for a variety of tribal groups. The degree to which your tribe wishes to share its own information can be to whatever extent you dictate.

Information contributed for broad public use can be accessed by anyone from our shared Archive Search. However, information you wish to keep restricted for your tribe's use only will have access restricted by our NACHI Librarian. We support programs which simply restrict use to your tribal membership, and we also support programs which can be selectively accessed to members of other tribes, or non-tribe members, based on subscription fees which your tribe can benefit from.

We encourage you to contact us about programs to preserve your cultural and historical documents, tapes, photographs, maps, images, and other tribal data as well as to make it accessible in an easy and intelligent way for your children and all those to come who are thirsty for knowledge about their Native American heritage. Native Language Support is an inherent part of all such Tribal programs. We will work with you and your elders and in any comfortable way to record the specifics of your language as well as to teach our search engine to understand your words.

Please contact us for information on how to set up your own Tribal Study Room, which can be made available to the educational facilities of your tribe and to anyone else you wish.
