Kellogg Funds Minority Leadership Initiative
Leaders of the Alliance for Equity in Higher Education have pledged to identify and mentor the next generation of presidents and senior executives for America's Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs). The alliance, a first-of-its-kind national coalition of associations and institutions that serve students of color, launched this initiative with the support of a four-year, $6 million grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation.The project focuses on building presidential and senior leadership at institutions in the Alliance for Equity in Higher Education, a three-year-old coalition representing the largest and broadest partnership of MSIs in American higher education. The three organizations in the alliance are: the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC), the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), and the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO).
These three organizations will work together to design the program while shaping it to meet the unique issues of their own communities, according to Jamie Merisotis, president of the Institute for Higher Education Policy and alliance director. Kellogg's interest in the leadership initiative reflects its investments in minority-serving institutions over the past several years and its desire to have a signature opportunity to celebrate its own 75-year anniversary, according to Merisotis.
The demand for leaders in the minority-serving institution community far exceeds the supply, yet there has been little attention paid to the task of identifying and educating the next generation of leaders, according to leaders of the alliance member organizations.
Dr. Gerald Gipp, executive director of AIHEC, said, "We are keenly aware that leadership development for the future means adopting new models. Models that exalt control and authority must be replaced by a new vision of leadership as it occurs in the context of minority-serving campuses." Dr. Antonio Flores, president of HACU, said, "The growing diversity in our society brings its own set of increasingly complex challenges, including the need for leadership that bridges the political, racial, cultural, and economic boundaries in our communities." Dr. Fred Humphries, president of NAFEO, said, "Over the next decade, many of the current leaders of MSIs will be retiring, which makes the comprehensive intergenerational transfer of knowledge imperative."
The leadership initiative provides for 30 fellows per year for three years, who will be paired with mentors in minority-serving institutions beginning next fall. The Institute for Higher Education Policy, a non-profit, non-partisan research and policy organization in Washington, DC, serves as convener for this and other programs of the Alliance for Equity in Higher Education. Regular updates will be available on the alliance website at
Sage spoke passionately about how both his uncle and his father, a Navajo code-talker, encouraged him to seek higher education. A Navajo from Farmington, NM, Sage has interned with USDA for two summers through the Washington Internship for Native Students (WINS) program. Two years ago, Sage worked with the Natural Resource Conservation Service, and last summer he interned with the Farm Service Agency.
In his speech, Sage gave credit to his uncle for helping him understand the value of agriculture. "My Uncle Billy always talked about how corn -- how agriculture -- is part of our every-day Native American culture, our inner culture and values. He used to talk about corn because we use corn .for our ceremonial prayers. 'You need to take care of your crops,' he would say. 'Give them water, like the way your mother nourished you when you were small. Raise them up just like your own child. Make them feel good. Talk to them. Make them feel comfortable.' And that's the way he used to tell us," said Sage.
Sage's father was also supportive of his educational goals. "He'd say, 'You know what, if you really want to go places, stay in school. That's the only way you can go somewhere. .You're not doing that for us or for your mother. What you're doing is for your kids and for tomorrow's generation because you're the one that's shaping this world for the next generation. Whatever you do here is going to affect the next generation.'"
Clearly, having two family members who support and encourage him is crucial to Sage's success in college. He summed it up simply by saying, "That's what made me keep in school. " He will graduate from Haskell (Lawrence, KS) with a bachelor's degree in business management.
The presidents of three Maori colleges, the presidents of the two tribal colleges, and Fond du Lac Reservation Business Committee Chairman Robert B. Peacock signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Aug. 1, 2002. The three Maori post-secondary institutions are: Te Wananga o Aotearoa, Te Wananga o Awanuiarangi, and Te Wananga o Raukawa.
If the college succeeds in raising the necessary resources, the exchange would fulfill a goal of FDLTCC Director of International Programs Shirley Defoe, who has visited New Zealand. "With all of the signatures, it's now official," she said. Students would travel to New Zealand to learn about indigenous cultures and give them a sense of the opportunities in other countries. The exchange would last anywhere from two weeks to a month. Students from the three Maori colleges would visit FDLTCC and the reservation in Cloquet, MN.
"I'm excited and thrilled at what Shirley has been doing in developing our programs on a global stature," said Interim FDLTCC President Tom Davis. "The mission of Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College is to provide higher educational opportunities for its communities in a welcoming, culturally diverse environment and to respectfully promote the language, culture, and history of the Anishinaabeg."
The college wants to provide programs that promote global understanding, Davis said. Agreements are also being worked out with another New Zealand post-secondary institution and with universities in Australia, Ecuador, and possibly China.
"The opportunity to get indigenous people talking together and hearing each others' stories is too great to pass up," said Davis. "It's a good chance to broaden our students' horizons and would end up being good for all of the students who are involved with the FDLTCC, New Zealand, and Australian indigenous peoples' exchange programs. Their language, culture, and education can teach us something."
In October, the college became the 35th member of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) at the annual membership meeting. The board voted to accept the college as an "applicant" member, pending final action on its accreditation.
The Tohono O'odham Nation chartered the college in 1998, and classes began in 2000. Enrollment last spring was 156. The nation provided $13 million for the college's first five years, primarily derived from casino revenues. Currently leasing office and classroom space, the tribal college is developing a plan for its permanent campus, which will require 30 acres and $32 million, according to Dr. Bob Martin, who was inaugurated in October 2001. Martin (Cherokee) has served as president of two other AIHEC colleges, Haskell Indian Nations University and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute. He has a doctorate of education from the University of Kansas.
The college and the nation are known for their work fighting diabetes by emphasizing traditional foods, such as squash, saguaro fruit, tepary beans, choya buds, melons, and wild spinach. The college employs elders to help integrate appropriate Tohono O'odham Him:dag (way of life, culture), and every faculty and staff member takes seven hours of culture and language courses. Academic programs include associate degrees in general studies, early childhood education, child development, administrative and office support, Tohono O'odham Studies, and business. New associate degrees being implemented this year are in education and agriculture. Until it is accredited on its own, the college utilizes an agreement with Pima Community College to provide accreditation.
First started as a career center, the college has trade apprenticeship programs recognized by the state department of labor in carpentry, painting, facility maintenance, electrician, plumbing, and management information systems. After receiving a $175,000 grant from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the college has launched a new program, Teaching for O'odham, which will develop an associate degree in education for special education teachers and assistants in BIA-operated schools within the nation. Board members are required to have at least a bachelor's degree, and two of the current board members have doctorate degrees.
The college was created to address serious problems, including a 50% school drop out rate and diabetes. More than 50% of the tribal members suffer from Type II diabetes, more than 10 times the national average. Experts blame the shift from traditional desert food to a high-fat and high-starch diet.
With 2.8 million acres, the Tohono O'odham Nation has the second largest reservation in the United States, which is bigger than the state of Connecticut. There are 25,000 members,12,000 of whom live on the reservation in Arizona and 1,500 across the border in Mexico. For more information, see the college's website Tribal colleges and universities and other minority-serving institutions have a long relationship with NASA, which provides resources, internships, and various programs designed to encourage students to conduct research and to consider careers in math, science, engineering, and technology (see TCJ, Vol. 12, N.3, page 33). Last April, for example, NASA announced that it was awarding $120,000 to the six tribal colleges in North Dakota for planning, math and science tutoring, purchasing or upgrading equipment, travel, and other projects. NASA announced the awards at NASA Awareness Days April 3-5, 2002, which was hosted by Cankdeska Cikana Community College in Fort Totten, ND.
The highlight of the April conference was a talk between Herrington and North Dakota Indian students of all ages. The astronaut was in training at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX, preparing for his launch at the time, but he took time out to call and speak to the audience. Students felt a special relationship with the Chickasaw astronaut, whose cardboard cutout likeness was displayed during the April conference, and many planned to continue their correspondence with him during his flight.
The NASA event that honored him in November introduced hundreds of non-Indians to American Indians and various tribal traditions while at the same time introducing tribal people to NASA culture and traditions. Over 45 tribes were represented among the 400 guests, including 200 tribal elders and members of the Chickasaw Nation, the Chickasaw governor and lieutenant governor, Herrington's mother and father, and 11 of the 35 tribal colleges. NASA filled one day with information about NASA programs, From Earth to Outer Space, for Native American students in K-12 schools, tribal colleges, and other undergraduate and graduate programs.
Ron McNeil, president of Sitting Bull College, received a standing ovation after his keynote address, Tribal College Pathway to Employment. McNeil also chairs President George W. Bush's Advisory Board on Tribal Colleges and Universities. The program provided Native songs, dances, and prayers, including NASA physicist Jerry Elliott (Osage/Cherokee) playing an original flute selection. Academy Award winning artist Buffy Sainte-Marie (Cree) sang two of her well-known songs, which could have been written especially for the occasion, Starwalker and Up Where We Belong.
Earlier in November, the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) accepted the college as an applicant member of the organization of tribal colleges and universities. Once initial candidacy has been achieved, the college looks forward to becoming a regular member of AIHEC.
The Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Council on the Isabella Indian Reservation in Michigan chartered the college in 1998. The mission of the college is to "empower learners to reach their educational objectives" by providing higher education opportunities. The college offers three associate-level degree programs: occupational-technical education, developmental education, and continuing education. In academic year 2000-01, the college had 110 students.
"The attainment of initial candidacy will be the most significant event thus far in the history of the college," according to the college president, Dr. Jeffrey Hamley. The chair of the college board of regents, Paul Johnson, echoed those sentiments. "It puts us in a whole new learning phase and levels the playing field," he said. "It enhances our program tremendously and allows us to compete with Mid-Michigan Community College and Central Michigan University. Students will reap great benefits from our accreditation as they complete programs at the tribal college and move on. We're a legitimate tool for improving their professional development."
Hamley said the college's next steps include establishing Bureau of Indian Affairs eligibility for federal Tribal College Act funds, writing grants to strengthen basic operations, and fundraising to diversify the funding base. Hamley has been president of the college since the board of regents selected him in October 2001. An enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Tribe, Hamley earned doctorate and master's degrees from Harvard University. Prior to becoming the college president, he served as the director of policy analysis and research at AIHEC and as a dean of two tribal colleges, the Institute of American Indians Arts in Santa Fe, NM, and Northwest Indian College in Bellingham, WA.
Emceed by Miss South Dakota Vanessa Shortbull, who is an Oglala Lakota tribal member, the event also featured Ulali, the world-renowned Native a cappella group. Ulali donated its performance on behalf of the College Fund. The trio has performed throughout the Americas and Europe and has been featured on albums by the Indigo Girls and Robbie Robertson.
This year's silent auction included a variety of unique pieces of Native American art and jewelry, featuring renowned Indian artists Dale Chilhully, Dan Namingha, and Virginia Stroud.
Established in 1989 by the AIHEC board of directors, the American Indian College Fund has spent more than a decade helping to increase educational opportunities for Native students. With its credo "educating the mind and spirit," the Denver-based nonprofit distributes scholarships and support to 32 AIHEC member colleges across the country. This aid supports more than 5,000 students in achieving their college education. The College Fund also supports endowments, developmental needs and public awareness, as well as college programs in Native cultural preservation and teacher training. For more information, see www.collegefund.org.
When completed, the new $12.5 million facility will include 65,000 square feet and accommodate 1,000 students. A capital campaign is underway to finance the project. Ross expects the first phase of the project, including classrooms and faculty offices, to be completed in time for fall 2003. Presently, most of the college classes and offices are in the old Cass Lake High School where Ross went to high school.
Ross became president of the college in September 2001. He was officially inaugurated in a ceremony rich in tribal traditions a year later. After traditional Anishinabe flute and drum songs, he received the new symbol of the college's presidency, a war club designed by area artist Duane Goodwin. As he presented the club to Ross, board chairman Roger Aitkin said, "This war club is a symbol of leadership signifying strength and wisdom in the battle of education."
Ross holds a master's degree in psychology from the University of Wisconsin and has completed coursework for a doctorate in administration from the University of Minnesota. A member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, he was born and raised on the reservation.
Our internship was inspired by our trip to Washington the year before to attend the annual Tribal College Librarian's Institute. The institute (normally held in Montana) provides the opportunity for us to learn more about the resources available to librarians and inspires ideas to better serve our patrons. When our group visited the Library of Congress in 2001, we discovered that thousands of uncataloged maps lie dormant within the vaults. The Maps and Geography Division of the Library of Congress wanted to build a comprehensive database that would be valuable not just to tribal college patrons but to researchers of Native American history throughout the United States. Eventually, these maps could even be digitized, so the maps themselves would be available for reproduction on the Internet.
In 2002, Chester and I spent three weeks going over maps and inputting information for the database. We worked specifically on maps pertaining to Minnesota tribes. We found maps with great historical and cultural value, such as Native American names that are no longer in use, changes in reservation boundaries, proposed changes that were not made, and promotions for the sales of Indian lands. Over the course of three weeks I learned so much about maps and Minnesota Indian history. It was interesting to see how reservation boundaries fluctuated, sometimes documented by treaties but most often not. The changes made to those reservations over the years were devastating.
During our last week, we looked at the most valuable maps which are kept in the vault; many are in manuscript form or hand-drawn. We added several to the database and photographed a few. The LOC Maps and Geography Section allowed us to have copies of 20 historical maps to take home. We also copied some regional maps and were allowed to take extra copies of maps and atlases for our libraries. Our congressman, the late U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, arranged to mail them back to the schools.
The final product for our part of this project is a list of nearly 400 maps dealing with Indian reservations in Minnesota entitled "Checklist of Cartographic Resources for the Study of Native Americans." The Library of Congress wants to have tribal college librarians from all over the United States come and go through the same process for their states and their reservations.
Tribal college librarians who are interested in participating can contact Robert Morris at the Library of Congress rcmo@loc.gov, Gregory Chester at Leech Lake Tribal College chester@lltc.org, or me, Holly Ristau, at White Earth Tribal and Community College hristau@wetcc.org.
Holly Ristau is the librarian for the White Earth Tribal and Community College and Mahnomen Public Schools in Mahnomen, MN. She earned a master's degree in library media.
In September, the Maori visited AIO offices in Washington, DC, and Bernalillo, NM. Located near Bernalillo, IAIA has a close relationship with AIO. Several of the tribal arts college's alumni have served as AIO ambassadors, including Ken Taylor (Muskogee-Creek-Cherokee). In his position as activities coordinator for student services, Taylor facilitated the meeting amongst IAIA, AIO, and the Maori.
The Institute of American Indian Arts Associated Student Government and Student Services hosted the indigenous visitors, presented them with IAIA polo shirts, and fed them buffalo stew and fry bread.
Because so many people can't afford to pay a lot for daycare on the reservation, parents find friends and grandparents to watch the children during their work hours. The Kith and Kin program will educate the childcare providers on various topics such as child development, health, nutrition, CPR/first aid, time management, and age-appropriate activities. The staff plans to inventory the needs and then to address those needs, according to Leah Azure, program facilitator.
It will also reward the participants with a point system. Points will be rewarded when participants do more with the kids in a learning environment. Eventually, as points accumulate, the care providers will be able to "purchase" items such as playpens, cribs, and high chairs. There is no fee associated with the program, which considers anyone who is not formally licensed by the state to be "informal" childcare providers.
Turtle Mountain Community College is the first tribal college in North Dakota to receive funding from the Bush Foundation to support family and friends providers. Archibald Granville Bush and his wife, Edyth Bassler Bush, created the Bush Foundation in 1953 to encourage and promote charitable, scientific, literary, and educational efforts. For more information, contact Leah Azure at Turtle Mountain Community College (701) 477-7869.
He also noted that the group endured and overcame tragedy while maintaining a focus on the future of Native peoples. Some of these tragedies included the loss of one student's husband to cancer, the loss of another student's nearly full-term baby, and the murder of a faculty member and close friend to the AISES chapter and its students.
Twenty-four NWIC students and their advisor, Wayne Woods, were at the conference to receive the honor. Last year's and this year's presidents of the chapter, Sandy Hensley and Tony George, spoke for the group, thanking the students and professional scientists, engineers, and corporation representatives for the recognition. The award also carries a $1,000 donation to the local chapter. Runner-up for this honor was the Arizona State University AISES Chapter. Previous winners have included much larger institutions than the tribal college: the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, Cornell University, Michigan Technological University, and Arizona State University.
The NWIC chapter has been active since 1999 when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began sponsoring it. Additional sponsorship has come from the National Science Foundation's Tribal Colleges and Universities Program, Microsoft Corporation, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Swinomish Tribe. The Lummi Indian Business Council charters Northwest Indian College, which is based near Bellingham, WA. The college serves tribes throughout the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and southeast Alaska. Approximately 1,200 students take classes at NWIC each year.
AISES is a national, nonprofit organization that nurtures building of community by bridging science and technology with traditional Native values. Founded in 1977, the organization has over 160 college and university chapters, over 150 high school chapters, and hundreds of corporate sponsors and supporters.
For additional information about this award, contact Wayne Woods at Northwest Indian College 392-4312 or at wwoods@nwic.edu.
His movie, "Hate Equals Hate," was shown Nov. 13 at the film festival in San Francisco. The event concluded the next night with a screening of "The Fast Runner (Atanarjuat)" by director Zacharias Kunuk. The nearly 60 films shown at this year's festival included Chris Eyre's "Skins" and "Skinwalkers," Sherman Alexie's "The Business of Fancydancing" and John Woo's "Windtalkers."
"Hate Equals Hate," Yeahpau's 18-minute movie, portrays the extremes that a handful of Native American males go to in order to express their hatred toward Columbus Day. "I did it in a most extreme way," Yeahpau (Kiowa) said about the violent nature of his film. "You would have to be really ignorant to believe it."
Surprisingly, he said, the film was born one bland afternoon when he and his friends were bored and started tossing around ideas for making a movie. "No one was really an actor or actress, but they were motivated," Yeahpau said about his impromptu cast.
Yeahpau admits the first few of his flicks have been violent, but he has decided to dabble in comedy. "I trust my humor enough to go further with it," he said.

Tohono O'odham Move Toward Accreditation
Tohono O'odham Community College (TOCC) succeeded in taking two of the most important steps for a fledgling tribal college last fall. Following its September visit to the college in Sells, AZ, the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) evaluation team recommended candidacy status for accreditation. A final decision is expected soon from the NCA Higher Learning Commission.
Tribal Colleges Celebrate Herrington's Flight
Tribal college communities kept a close watch on space shuttle Endeavour last Nov. 23 to Dec. 7 knowing that John B. Herrington (Chickasaw) was the first tribally enrolled American Indian astronaut to walk in space. Several tribal college representatives attended the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) event commemorating his flight earlier in November at the NASA Kennedy Space Center. The shuttle did not launch at that time because of weather conditions, but NASA provided a symposium, Linking Education to Employment, and a festive celebration.

Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College Attains Goals
The Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College (SCTC) in Mount Pleasant, MI, is one step closer to receiving accreditation. Following a site visit last November, a team of evaluators from the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association (HLC/NCA) said it would recommend initial candidacy to the commission's board of trustees. Official notification is expected in February.
College Fund Presents Achievement Awards
The American Indian College Fund held its seventh annual Flame of Hope Gala in New York City last November, which raised several hundred thousand dollars toward scholarships for American Indian college students. During the event, the College Fund presented Lifetime Achievement Awards to the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community and to the Allstate Insurance Company for their commitments to furthering Indian higher education. Barbara Bratone also was honored for her work as the first executive director of the American Indian College Fund.

Leech Lake to Break Ground for New Campus
Leech Lake Tribal College (LLTC) expects to break ground for a new campus this spring, according to LLTC President Lenee Ross. The Leech Lake Tribal College Board of Trustees decided upon a 30-acre site south of the Palace Casino in Cass Lake, MN. An additional 40 acres will be used for the college's vocational technical program. The decision last October came after college staff presented information at meetings in eight reservation communities and conducted an extensive community-wide survey.
Mapping Our Past at Library of Congress
by Holly Ristau
Gregory Chester and I spent three weeks in Washington, DC, last summer at the Library of Congress as interns helping to build a database to serve tribal colleges and communities. We direct libraries at tribal colleges in northern Minnesota; Chester at Leech Lake Tribal College, and I am at White Earth Tribal and Community College.
Studying maps at the Library of Congress, Holly Ristau learned a lot about reservation history.
IAIA Students Host Maori Delegation
A delegation of Maori from New Zealand came to the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe, NM, last September to share their culture with students. The group represented Advancement of Maori Opportunities, a non-profit organization that includes indigenous people from various professions and students. Americans for Indian Opportunity (AIO) inspired their travel to the United States when a group of AIO "ambassadors" traveled to the South Pacific in spring 2002. The Maori used AIO as a model for their opportunity organization, which promotes the following: developing educational cultural exchanges; building leadership amongst the Maori people; providing export opportunities for Maori businesses; and acting as a forum for the advancement of culture, sports, education, health, technology, economic development, Maori language, customs, and traditions.

TMCC Initiates Informal Provider Program
Turtle Mountain Community College (Belcourt, ND) hopes to boost the quality of day care on its North Dakota reservation through a pilot program funded by the Bush Foundation. The Kith and Kin program addresses the needs of a group usually neglected in training programs - the informal day care providers.
NWIC Overcomes Tragedy to Earn AISES Award
The Northwest Indian College Chapter of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) received an important award at the organization's annual conference Nov. 7-10 in Tulsa, OK. In presenting the Stelvio J. Zanin Distinguished Chapter of the Year Award, AISES National Student Representative Steven Baranyai said that the Northwest Indian College (NWIC) chapter planned and executed activities that epitomize the AISES principles. These activities included working with K-12 students, campus community service projects, and hosting a regional conference.
Haskell Student Honored at Film Festival
by Amanda jo Wauneka
A movie by a Haskell Indian Nations University student was screened at the 27th annual American Indian Film Festival. "It's an honor," said Thomas Yeahpau, 27, "but I think I'm a workaholic because I didn't want to celebrate. I just wanted to keep on working."
