Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) Thirty years ago, a movement began that would forever change the face of higher education of this country's American Indians. Troubled because of a lack of higher educational opportunities for their young people, American Indians began envisioning, and building colleges and universities of their very own, first in a remote reservation community on the Navajo Nation, then throughout Indian Country. As the Tribal College Movement has grown over the years, evidence of the colleges' tremendous value and need has continued to mount; and in 1996, President Clinton signed an Executive Order on Tribal Colleges and Universities.

The American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) and the Albuquerque High Performance Computing Center (AHPCC) at the University of New Mexico, a National Computational Science Alliance (Alliance) partner, sponsored the event. Presentations and discussions at the seminar ranged from basic demonstrations of collaborative and education delivery systems to discussions about tribal community telecommunications services and connectivity frustrations. The discussions stressed that Native colleges must take advantage of the latest technical innovations being developed by the Alliance as it works to create the Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (PACI) technology Grid (PACI Grid) and the Access Grid. The seminar's organizer, Evans Craig of the University of New Mexico, said he would like to see all 32 member tribal colleges of AIHEC become connected to the Internet with at least fractional T-1 bandwidth as soon as possible.

Extractions: The U.S. Department of Energy's Native American Internship Program at NREL is designed to provide Native American undergraduate students with educational training and research experiences to strengthen their knowledge and skills of renewable energy and energy efficiency and deepen their commitment to pursue careers in science and technology. For 10 weeks during the summer, teams of two undergraduate students and one faculty staff will work with laboratory scientists and engineers as members of research teams at NREL. The program is intended to attract a large number of eligible men and woman applicants who are varied in tribal affiliation, economic background, geographical location, and type of college or university they attend. Selection See detailed map of DOE's Programs for Native Americans Participants will be students and faculty from tribal colleges, universities serving large populations of Native American students, and student organizations such as the American Indian Science and Engineering Student and Professional Associations (AISES). Participants will be targeted from tribes who are currently engaged in one or more of the Department of Energy's programs such as Remote Applications, Tribal Colleges, Rebuild America, Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), other DOE EERE Offices (Weatherization and Office of Building Technologies), and DOE's Office of Science Community College Initiative. These DOE programs support Native America Programs.

Extractions: "Many Native Americans who are successful in completing high school enter postsecondary institutions academically unprepared for rigorous college science curricula. Community colleges must face the challenge of creating programs of instruction whereby these students...can be prepared for the course of study required in these fields. "It is necessary to explore humanistic and holistic approaches of knowledge delivery to Native American students. Central to this approach is the recognition that Native American worldviews emphasize the importance of grasping the 'big picture' before one sets about studying particular things or subjects. An important component of successful math instruction for Native American students is transforming the learning of mathematics from a purely abstract logical exercise to a subject with a history and applicability to the complex web of life. "The first challenge math instructors of Native American students must face is to create a classroom environment in which mathematics is seen as relevant and meaningful [Megginson 1990]. Native American students have to be convinced that mathematics relates to their life, or they will avoid the subject and/or refuse to fully participate in the learning process [Green 1978]. Cultural sensitivity to Native American values and behavior is crucial to successful classroom instruction. Direct eye contact, competitiveness, and boasting about oneself are taboos among most Native American peoples [California State Department of Education 1991]. Native American students prefer group-oriented learning environments and view group cooperation and harmony as more important than the success of one individual [Anderson and Stein 1992].

Extractions: text links Educational Programs for Native Americans See our feature article about scholarships The Indian education programs administered by the Office of Native American Affairs are based on the concept that, if Reclamation can provide assistance to future Indian Tribal members, we will be helping Indian tribes address water problems and issues. In addition to that, by assisting Indian students in their efforts to graduate from high school and college and to receive training and learn new skills in water management and water-related disciplines, we are continuing with Reclamation's traditional reputation of helping people help themselves. To that end, Reclamation has a number of programs, including: Arizona State University (ASU): This annual grant of $200,000 supports an increasing number of American Indian students (34 in 2001). The curriculum is unique because it includes courses pertinent to Tribal sovereignty, tribal governance, and seminars in Advanced Tribal Law. These funds also provide for the administration of a fellowship program which places students with Tribal governments or Federal agencies involved in Indian law and environmental issues. Funds also are used for outreach programs to American Indian students. The outreach programs target students at all educational levels and encourages them to pursue a degree in higher education, particularly in legal and water-related natural resource areas.

This project is to enhance the academic backgrounds of socially and economically disadvantaged and disabled students and their teachers at the middle and high school level who are enrolled in public schools with substantial enrollments of these students; to encourage them into Mathematics, Sciences and Engineering Technology (MSET) careers, especially into computational sciences; and to improve their MSET literacy with an emphasis in the tools of computational sciences. In particular, we will provide revised course materials to students and their teachers in the Houston PREP program and other PREP sites. The materials will be presented at the annual national PREP meetings. This project also involves a Saturday Academy, which utilizes the above course materials, is provided to reinforce and encourage minority students to pursue careers in technology.

Extractions: The American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) is a uniqueand uniquely American Indianorganization. It was founded in 1972 by the presidents of the nations first six Tribal Colleges, as an informal collaboration among member colleges. Today, AIHEC has grown to represent 34 colleges in the United States and one Canadian institution. Unlike most professional associations, it is governed jointly by each member institution. AIHECs mission is to support the work of these colleges and the national movement for tribal self-determination. Its mission statement, adopted in 1973, identifies four objectives: maintain commonly held standards of quality in American Indian education; support the development of new tribally controlled colleges; promote and assist in the development of legislation to support American Indian higher education; and encourage greater participation by American Indians in the development of higher education policy.
