The bulk of the collection consists of general files including correspondence, meeting
minutes, and career day records. The collection also contains articles of incorporation,
by-laws, evaluations, grant proposals, and needs assessments. Of particular interest are the
educational needs assessment materials of Milwaukee County's American Indian Community,
developed, researched, and completed by MIEC in 1982. Also included in the collection is
MIEC's survey with the Milwaukee Public Library of Milwaukee American Indian library users,
library holdings, and related matters. This project helped establish a Native American
Library Project at the Milwaukee Public Library. The collection also contains records
regarding MIEC's relationship with the "WE Indians" Program and the Wisconsin Indian
Educational Act of 1977.
