The primary goal of the Aaniiih Nakoda College (ANC) Library is to support the college’s mission of providing quality post-secondary education to residents of the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation and surrounding communities. The library aims to uphold the cultural integrity of the Aaniiih (Gros Ventre, White Clay) and Nakoda (Assiniboine) Tribes while preparing individuals to succeed in a technological society. To achieve this, the library focuses on providing research materials aligned with ANC’s degree and certificate programs, offering specialized resources on local and tribal history, and increasing awareness of American Indian affairs. It also strives to make its collection widely accessible through interlibrary loan and to prioritize serious non-fiction materials over popular reading, ensuring a valuable resource for both educational and cultural enrichment within the community.
