Mni<\/em> is the Dakota word for water. The three letters are also the acronym for the college\u2019s groundbreaking new project called the Macalester Native and Indigenous (MNI) Initiative that has been awarded a $1 million grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Combined with a financial commitment from the college, the generous grant from the nation\u2019s largest supporter of arts and humanities will enable Macalester to create a multi-faceted initiative dedicated to engagement with and scholarship around Indigenous people, culture and history.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
