ANA Social and Economic Development Grant: 2024-2027

In 2024, the Munsee Tribe in Kansas received a Social and Economic Development Grant from ANA. Using this grant, the Tribe is creating a comprehensive archive documenting its history, heritage, and culture. The archive’s purpose is to give the Tribe’s descendants resources to learn their history, strengthen the community, and teach future generations about their ancestors. We invite any Tribe members interested in learning more about their heritage to visit the archive or reach out through the Contact page with any questions.

The Social and Economic Development Grant (SEDs) has also supported the Tribe’s community programs. These public and private programs educate people about the history of the Munsee Tribe in Kansas, reconnect members with the Munsee language and ancestral lands, and unite the community through gatherings and events.

The following programs have been developed through the SEDs Grant:

  • Historical Roundtables

  • Cultural Tours

  • Private Language Classes

  • Elder Events

  • and more!
