athy Bancroft had several reasons for studying biology and chemistry at Fort Lewis College. Free tuition for Native American students was a big incentive. The fact that she lives in nearby Cortez, Colorado, was a plus, too. But the biggest factor in attending Fort Lewis in her late 30s, Bancroft recalls, was her feeling of not being alone. Two decades earlier, Bancroft, who is a member of the Long Pine Paiute-Shoshone Reservation of California's eastern Sierra Nevadas, started her undergraduate education as one of very few Native Americans at a large research university in California. She lasted less than two years in the pre-med program before rushing back to the familiar embrace of her Sierra Nevada homeland. A few years later she moved to Colorado so that her two young sons could experience the culture of their father, who is a member of the Ute tribe. "It was so impersonal before," she recalls. "What scared me about it was that the classes were so large, but there really wasn't anybody that you could ask if you had questions." "I have a Native American student in my introductory chemistry class who is on the verge of failing," says Ritchey. "I made a point to introduce myself to her in the beginning of the semester. Now I've written a note to her asking her to come see me so we can figure out how she can do better. I can't be sure she won't fail. But she won't slip through the cracks."

Place an ad NOLAN WELLS/Detroit Free Press Carrie Leaureaux of Peshawbestown, near Suttons Bay, laughs with a classmate while they sing songs in Nishnaabemwin at the Bay Mills center. Bay Mills is the state's only tribal college. Bay Mills Community College helps Native Americans prepare for life in mainstream United States August 15, 2000 BY JAMES G. HILL FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER BRIMLEY A typical morning for the students in Barbara Nolan's Nishnaabemwin language class at Bay Mills Community College starts at 8:30 a.m. with a review of past lessons and an hour of grammar practice. Then it's on to the nature trails. RELATED CONTENT Future teachers aim to keep native dialect alive and flourishing The 12 students talk with Nolan as they pick and eat the ubiquitous wild raspberries and blueberries that grow on the Upper Peninsula campus. But the students and Nolan don't converse in English. They speak Ojibwe, the language of the Native-American people who live in the Great Lakes region. And instead of using the walk as a break, the students identify items in nature as they search for sweet grass or the hair of mother Earth, as the Ojibwe call it to make baskets and other items. The lesson is a part of the holistic approach that tribal colleges like Bay Mills use to prepare Native-American students for university life off the reservation, incorporating mainstream learning with Native-American customs.

National NALSA Welcome to the TULaw Native American Law Center Native American Law Center Aho, Si Yo, and Welcome! to the website of the Native American Law Center at the University of Tulsa College of Law. We invite you to explore these pages and examine all we have to offer. We admit to being a bit prejudiced, but in our opinion, we have the best faculty, classes, programs, students, and alumni around. Perhaps one of the most important things NALC has to offer is the fact that the University of Tulsa College of Law has made an institution-wide commitment to Indian law. We are not a niche or a side program. Rather, we are fully and completely integrated into the College of Law. No other law school has made the same type of broad based commitment to the program that you will find here on the grounds of TU. We have six full time professors who specialize in the field. This means that our program is spread across many shoulders, giving students a wide variety of perspectives and backgrounds. It also means that our professors are available to our students and our critical classes won't disappear should a professor take a leave or a sabbatical. There are a number of other reasons why students should choose the University of Tulsa as the place to study Indian law: Tradition The University of Tulsa has a long historical tradition in Indian law, as is evidenced by the fact that the University's library is the repository for Samuel Worcester's (of Worcester v. Georgia fame)

HOME THE COLLEGE The College NAES College was established in Chicago in l974 to strengthen the leadership of Native communities and to ensure that tribal knowledge, traditions and values play a major role in the higher education of Native students. NAES College is the only independent, Native owned and controlled college in the country. The college offers a single degree, a Bachelor's of Arts in Public Policy , with an emphasis on tribal knowledge, community service, community development and leadership. The primary educational goal at NAES is to teach public policy principles, processes and issues within the framework of a liberal arts education. The teaching program allows the students to remain in his or her community, fulfilling family, work and community responsibilities while completing a baccalaureate degree. Most mainstream colleges and universities have been unable to meet the needs of Native students and seldom graduate more than l0% of the Native students enrolled in their undergraduate programs. Through NAES College's community and culture-based curriculum, the student retention rate through graduation of NAES students is 70%. Twenty eight percent of our graduates have gone on to graduate or professional schools where they have completed advanced degree programs or are working towards that goal. Since l974, Native community interest in the NAES higher education program has led to the establishment of branch campuses in both reservation and urban locations. Currently, in addition to the

Native American Advisement Office American Indian Center (AIC) FY03 Goals and Objectives MISSION The American Indian Center (AIC) is committed to empowering American Indian students by providing the academic, social, and cultural support necessary for them to successfully become holistic leaders and citizens while maintaining their self-identity and preserving their Native heritage. The AIC fosters fellowship and serves as a supportive foundation for students to help ease the transition from home to campus life. The AIC serves as a liaison between Native American students and the University promoting increased interaction and cross-cultural understanding throughout the DSU community. GOAL I—RECRUITMENT The recruitment of Native American students is imperative for Dakota State University Recruitment of persons from the Native American community offers these individuals the educational and professional opportunity that will enable them to improve the standard of living for themselves and their communities while learning to become holistic leaders and citizens. As important, the increase of Native American peoples helps to develop a broader cultural understanding among the campus community, which subsequently, helps to destroy stereotypical views and the “us vs. them” mentality that exists.

Smudging by Elaine Lunham Virginia Graverette Pigeon, Tribal Elder of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe, member of the Cedar Women's Society, Elder of the Mide Lodge. With these credentials, I realized that Virginia holds a lot of wisdom, guidance, and teachings. For as long as I can remember, I had heard of the Anishinabe people smudging with sacred herbs such as tobacco, sweetgrass, sage, and cedar. I always wondered the meaning behind it (though I had my own ideas). One day I went to Virginia, seeking answers to my questions, trying to gain insight and knowledge so that one day I could pass this on to my children and their children. Virginia began by saying that some people follow the Traditional Way and some follow the Christian Way and that one way respects the aspects of both ways. Both know one God. Virginia said that there are a lot of stories and legends that have been brought down from generation to generation. She said that there are a lot of reasons why we should smudge and that it is a good thing to smudge, either with one of the sacred herbs or all of them together. She said: In the first place, tobacco (a-say-ma) was a gift of the Four Manido (Spirits of the Four Directions). It was the father of Nanabush who gave the tobacco (ah-say-ma) and shared the custom of smoking with his son after their epic battle in war, as a symbol of peace. Nanabush in turn passed on the custom to the Anishnabe as a ceremony. Thereafter, the Anishnabe smoked the Pipe of Peace before great councils, after war, and before other ceremonies. The Anishnabe adopted the custom and made it part of their daily lives to compose their minds and spirits. It is said that it will chase away feelings that are bad or negative and bring on thoughts that are good or positivie.

It's even more difficult to find tech work close to home. Even preparing for college can be tough. Although reservation schools and libraries may have computers, less than half of the homes on North Dakota reservations, for example, have telephone lines. Despite such hurdles, tribal colleges help students learn spreadsheet software, database management concepts and the basics of programming. But the course work generally offered in the tribal colleges' associates degree programs is geared to office administration and not careers in technology.

Workshop for Native Americans Held at Bozeman Meeting A special workshop examining advanced ceramic composites was conducted for Native American college students and their instructors during the October CFCC working group meeting in Bozeman. The 11 students who participated in the workshop attend the four colleges that comprise the Montana Science and Technology Consortium: Fort Peck Community College, Little Big Horn College, Rocky Mountain College, and Salish Kootenai College. The DOE CFCC program is supporting the consortium by conducting a series of programs designed to enrich the science education of Native American students in Montana. The Bozeman workshop, also attended by students from Montana State University and New Mexico Highlands University, was one of several programs offered this year by CFCC scientists. The others included a residential science camp for young Native Americans, and a summer student/faculty research program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and several CFCC industries. Many of the students also attended other sessions of the working group meeting.
