Northwest Indian College is the only regional tribal college in the nation.

Everything is tribal oriented. I got to learn more about where I came from and I got to learn about other tribes.

It’s nice, it’s convenient, it’s a warm and inviting environment. Kind of like a second family here.

I never thought I would go to college in my life and here I am, a student, at Northwest Indian College.

I’m a single mom with two children. I have a daughter and It’s important to have her see that all women should have an education.

As a father it’s important for me to be educated so I can get a job.

I decided to return to college to set an example for my kids, my family, my friends, community.

There’s no age limit to attending College it makes you feel good in here.
