RRD 187 Rebuilding Hope, Reclaiming History and Culture, Restoring Health: Stories of Succcess from Tribal and Native-serving Colleges

North Central Regional Center for Rural Development with support from The National Rural Funders Collaborative and USDA-CSREES. 2007. Rebuilding Hope, Reclaiming History and Culture, Restoring Health: Stories of Success from Tribal and Native-Serving Colleges. (RRD187). Ames, IA: North Central Regional Center for Rural Development.

In this report we capture a snapshot of how Tribally-controlled community colleges make a difference in Indian Country and how Native-serving colleges in Hawaii and Alaska contribute to the growth of assets for Native Hawaiians and Alaskans. As spurs to economic development, pathways to education and careers, places that preserve tradition and act on culture, and sources of support for tribal members coping with poverty and disease, these institutions demonstrate the power of community colleges to aid Native people in their quest for a higher quality of life for themselves and the next seven generations. In this report, we document a portion of this journey to self-sufficiency and self-governance.
