The Newberry Library has received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to fund "Indians of the Midwest." The McNickle Center is in the process of constructing this multimedia website designed to marry the Library's rich collections on Native American history with state-of-the art interactive web capabilities to reveal the cultural and historical roots of controversial issues involving Native Americans today. In addition to historical collections, the site will also feature contemporary photos, interviews with contemporary Native Americans, interactive maps, and links to tribal and other websites.
