Fort Belknap Indian Community

The Aaniiih Nakoda College Library plans to expand outreach and learning opportunities for the Fort Belknap Indian community, including those in the remote areas of Hays and Lodgepole, Montana. Needs assessments conducted by the library director and partners indicated that community members would like the library to offer more outreach workshops and educational programs. Local language, history, and culture, as well as STEM-related fields, were the most requested program areas. The library will host programs on those topics during Native American Week, Aaniiih Nakoda College's spring break, and summer library family days, and will add related books to the library's circulating collection.
