Welcome to the Center For World Indigenous Studies' Chief George Manuel Memorial Library. This site is dedicated in the name of Secwepemc Chief George Manuel to the nations of the Fourth World, to the elders and generations to come. Our goal is to present the online community with the greatest possible access to Fourth World documents and resources.
The Chief George Manuel Memorial Library is an online library of texts which record and preserve our peoples' struggles to regain their rightful place in the international community.
This archive, under the Fourth World Documentation
Program, was originally authorized by a resolution of the Conference of Tribal Governments. The resolution was originally sponsored by Chairman Cliff Keline of the Muckleshoot Tribal Council in 1979. The archive
grew into the Chief George Manuel Memorial Library with
currently more than 100,000 documents, reports, and publications from American Indian nations and indigenous nations from around the world. We have digitized more than 1000 of these documents so they will be available to Tribal governments, researchers, students and people interested in policy developments in the Fourth World. Our librarian and research assistants may be able to secure documents from the hardcopy archive simply write to: Librarian and request information. There may be a charge for this service. Ask the
Librarian.
