The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan received a $647,572 Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access program (CFDA 45.149). The grant will be used to harvest and preserve historical records from the National Archives Records Administration related to the former Mount Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School, which operated from 1893-1934 as part of the U.S. government's assimilation policies targeting Native American children. The project will collect administrative records, policies, and procedures from this era to build a broader understanding of the assimilation practices and their lasting impact on American society. The grant supports a 3-year project with an anticipated completion date of June 30, 2027.
