Labriola National American Indian Data Center
The Labriola National American Indian Data Center is the only Indigenous-led library center at an R-1 Academic University in the continental so-called United States of America where students and community members can celebrate and critically engage with American Indian and Indigenous scholarly works and creative writing. Its staff provides culturally relevant information and research support, and the center is a culturally safe learning space for Indigenous library users. In addition, we have two Native Librarians who can assist ASU students with their research.
Labriola staff seeks to engage with the ASU and local community in meaningful ways through Indigenous librarianship. Labriola staff encourages community members, Indigenous ASU students, faculty and staff to visit their centers at Hayden and Fletcher libraries.

American Indian Student Support Services
American Indian Student Support Services (AISSS) provides services to all Indigenous students to ensure they will successfully progress towards educational excellence and graduate to become self-reliant individuals who effectively give back to their families and communities. We welcome all ASU students to use AISSS services. We provide warm, inclusive spaces which students like you have affectionately named “home away from home.” There are AISSS locations on all campuses where students study and relax, and Success Staff are available both on-campus and online to be there for you.

The Invest in our Children, Invest in our Future (INVEST) grant supports students, families, schools, and community partners through culturally responsive programming that builds youth resiliency, increases high school graduation rates, strengthens college and career readiness, and expands access to postsecondary education and career pathways.
