MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Scan the QR code to read Cheryl Crazy Bull’s bio.

Every day, I am reminded just how vital the American Indian College Fund’s work is for Native students seeking higher education—especially now with so much changing around us. Federal policies have dismantled programs and services that matter deeply to our students, leaving many anxious and uncertain about their future. Our students and their lives are particularly important to me. I grew up on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota and my path in life and my family’s story is woven into the legacy of tribal colleges and universities (TCUs). My father went to college on the GI Bill and enjoyed a professional career that provided for his family. He and my mother shared their value of education’s pivotal role in our lives and communities with me and my siblings. After I earned my college degree, I joined the tribal college movement—as a teacher, a college president, and now as President and CEO of the American Indian College Fund. Other family members have also been shaped by TCUs. My sister was a master teacher and TCU alumna; my grandchildren attend TCUs. Like so many Native families, a higher education has given us purpose, stability, and the opportunity to serve our communities. This is why the mission at the College Fund is personal to me: we invest in Native students and tribal college education because we know it transforms lives and entire communities. Last year alone, we provided over $23 million

in support to students and $15.2 million in support to programs and services that benefit our scholars at tribal colleges and universities (TCUs). But financial help for students to attend college is only part of the solution for our communities. We must also lift up the voices and stories of Native students and the affordable, culturally based TCUs they attend, so their contributions—intellectual, economic, and cultural—are truly seen and valued. When we invest in Native scholars and their colleges, we help individuals; strengthen rural and Native communities; and benefit every taxpayer. For every dollar invested in TCUs, the return is remarkable. In the last fiscal year alone, TCUs generated $3.8 billion in economic growth for our country and supported over 40,000 jobs for both Native and nonNative graduates. What touches me the most is that 93% of College Fund scholars stay in their communities after graduation to serve their communities. More than 75% of TCU graduates use

their degrees to fill critical roles in healthcare, business, law enforcement, and the sciences. Salish Kootenai College’s nursing program in Montana comes to mind. Their graduates are helping address a severe shortage of healthcare workers in their state. TCUs aren’t just institutions of education, they heal. They revitalize Native cultures and languages, create safe and nurturing environments for students of all backgrounds, and keep education affordable for students in remote areas. Whether a student is pursuing a certificate program for a skilled trade or a doctorate degree, TCUs open doors that might otherwise remain closed. I am always moved by stories in our communities. For example, the late Dr. Charles “Monty” Roessel saw a young homeless family at a gas station on the Navajo reservation and invited them to live and study at Diné College. That simple act changed their lives overnight—giving them safety, nourishment, and hope for a better future.

together, but with funding cuts and education being devalued, the fight for higher education access and opportunity is more urgent than ever. I invite you to join our advocacy efforts at collegefund. org/advocacy to support Native students’ access to higher education and programs that promote academic success; advocate for ensuring the support for TCUs; and help every student pursue their dreams. Together, we’re making a difference to thousands of Native scholars—one student, one family, one community at a time.

President and CEO, American Indian College Fund Cheryl Crazy Bull is a member of the Sicangu Lakota Nation from Rosebud, South Dakota, and is the President and CEO of the American Indian College Fund.

Thanks to your support and the College Fund’s commitment, higher education has had a powerful impact on Native students and their communities. We have come so far

OUR SACRED FUTURE: TCU GRADUATES Jasmine (Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin) is making her mark in the tribal college movement. She credits her undergraduate experience at the College of Menominee Nation (CMN) for preparing her for success at the elite law school at the University of Michigan, where she’s pursuing a dual degree in law and environmental justice. “The growth mindset I developed in undergrad had shown me that the knowledge I fought the hardest for is the knowledge that I most cherish,” Jasmine shares. After leaving mainstream education due to financial hardship, Jasmine enrolled at CMN and found a physical, intellectual, and spiritual home. She immersed herself in the community, helping students in need during the pandemic. There she deepened her understanding of Menominee cultural tradition, including old-growth forestry and the importance of relationships. At CMN, Jasmine gained access to cutting-edge technology and learned to thrive in competitive settings. Yet, her most powerful takeaways were pride and confidence in her identity as a Native person. She challenges mainstream academia’s tendency to treat Indigenous knowledge as relics, showing instead through science and law that Native cultures are vibrant and essential for our future. In every space she enters— even if she’s the only Native person — Jasmine knows she belongs. “I am part of a flourishing community that shows its love for the Indian Country of tomorrow by putting in the work today.”

Michael (direct descendent of Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians) is a powerful example of how mentorship can shape futures. At Turtle Mountain College (TMC), he earned his first degrees and met people who believed in him. Today, Michael is pursuing his doctorate in business administration at the University of Mary—soon to become the program’s first Native graduate. “It’s a big deal to know I’m the first one and there are people following along behind me,” he shares. Returning to TMC as a professor, Michael not only inspires students like his mentors did, but he also gets to witness his two oldest daughters, Aaliyah and Gracelyn (Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians) pursue degrees in cybersecurity and biology respectively at TMC. “It starts at Turtle Mountain and moves out from there,” he says. Aaliyah, having watched her father step up for their community, is following in his footsteps at TMC. She has set her sight on earning her doctorate degree and being a role model for other Native women in cybersecurity.

As both a student and teacher, Michael believes in the power of community and shared purpose. TMC gave him the foundation to uplift others. “If we live for the next generation,” he says, “we will see successes that no one expects from Indigenous people.”

Joseph (Tohono O’odham Nation) grew up feeling disconnected from his tribal nation—not knowing the language, the stories, or even how to pronounce his tribe’s name. That changed when he earned an associate degree in liberal arts from Tohono O’odham Community College (TOCC), where culture and Indigenous knowledge is embedded in every aspect of the learning experience. Joseph credits his teachers for nurturing his confidence in his identity as a Native American. Now pursuing a bachelor’s degree in English at Arizona State University, Joseph often finds he is the only Native student in class. Despite feeling isolated, he draws strength from the continued support of his TOCC mentors and sees this new environment as an opportunity to grow. Through his internship at the Gila River Indian Newspaper and his coursework, Joseph uses his writing to educate others about Native issues. With the foundation of a TCU education, he understands how vital it is for Native values and knowledge to be reflected in academic spaces. Working towards a journalism career, Joseph hopes to bridge gaps and connect communities through storytelling. “Storytelling is a part of who we are as Native people,” Joseph shares — and it was TOCC that taught him the power of his own voice and identity.

Ashley (Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians) knows that success begins with knowing you belong. Salish Kootenai College (SKC) wasn’t just where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing — it was where she discovered that education and culture are inseparable. Indigenous knowledge was woven into every class, deepening her sense of identity. “The community made me who I am today,” Ashley shares. “I carry that belief in myself everywhere I go.” Now pursuing a Doctor in Nursing Practice – Family Nursing Practitioner degree at University of California Davis, Ashley is committed to ensuring Native people are represented at every level of healthcare. While SKC prepared her academically, transitioning to a mainstream university has been challenging — especially the lack of understanding about Native histories and presence among non-Natives. Drawing strength from her tribal college experience, Ashley is working with UC Davis to create more culturally centered resources and spaces for Native healthcare students. Seeing the faculty and scholars at SKC showed her what’s possible and inspired her to dream bigger. Ashley plans to serve her community as a nurse practitioner and continue to advocate for stronger partnerships between mainstream universities and tribal colleges and communities. “We need more of our people in healthcare,” she says, “and I want to be part of that change.” 9

OUR SACRED WORK: TCU PROGRAMS Ihduwiyayapi: Advancing Indigenous Early Childhood Education (IECE) Early childhood education is a path to later education success, particularly when it is rooted in community. This program strengthens TCU early childhood education capacity rooted in Native values by nurturing learning through Indigenous languages, stories, and traditions. The program is expanding to 14 TCUs and will support thousands more students, children, and their families.

Wounspekiya Unspewicakiyapi Native Nunpa Teacher Education To bring more Native voices and perspectives to classrooms, we are building teacher education capacity at eight TCUs. The initiative supports K-12 Native teacher recruitment, development, and retention to uplift the next generation of educators.

High School Equivalency Native learners at every stage of their education are supported through culturally informed high school equivalency pathways at TCUs. Sinte Gleska University’s mobile classroom, launched in June 2025, brings tutoring and testing to rural communities and correctional facilities—where the first GED graduate was recently celebrated.

Indigenous Visionaries: Women’s Leadership Fellowship Over nine months, Native women faculty and staff at TCUs are empowered with leadership training, mentorship, and cultural learning. Fellows engage in convenings and lead community-based projects in subjects like Native arts, environmental stewardship, and education to foster connection, collaboration, and confidence.

Naabaahii Ółta’í: Native Student Veterans Peer-to-Peer The program supports Native student veterans through peer mentorship and cultural reconnection. A convening at College of Muscogee Nation featured alumni and veteran speakers to foster healing, pride in service, and community among the Native veteran fellows navigating higher education.

Computer Science Initiative This initiative expands computer science education across TCUs with faculty development, student engagement, internships, and tribally specific, place-based programs. Six TCUs received funding in 2024-25, and the Institute of American Indian Arts launched its new computer science program, offering certificates, associate, and bachelor's degrees in fall of 2025.

Environmental Stewardship Tiyata Wan Unkagapi (We Are Making a Home) By building capacity in environmental science and natural resource programs at TCUs in the Northern Great Plains, this program integrates Indigenous knowledge into environmental education curriculum. It offers fellowships, community-based programs, and internships. The goal is educating the next generation of scientists and stewards for their tribal lands. 11

OUR FOUNDERS' VISION: THE TRIBAL COLLEGE LEARNING MODEL Paving Pathways to Success: The TCU Developing Research in Undergraduate Mathematics (DRUM) Circles Project Math is a critical subject that has intimidated many students for generations. Yet the struggle to understand makes success that much sweeter and paves the way for both personal and communal growth. Mathematics literally make the world go round in terms of the physics that explains the Earth’s rotation. Just imagine what could be achieved if more students were eager to study and work in mathematical fields. That is exactly what WestEd is doing. WestEd and the American Indian College Fund partnered to launch the TCU Developing Research in Undergraduate Mathematics (DRUM) Circles Project. TCU DRUM Circles empowers mathematics faculty at tribal colleges and universities to conduct research and raise student and community awareness of innovative practices in developmental mathematics and math pathways. Rather than depending on a one-size-fits-all algebra sequence, math pathways such as statistics, quantitative reasoning, STEM, and business are designed to broaden the options and paths for students to align math with their program of study, interest, or future goals. The research conducted by fellows will contribute to mathematics education practices at all TCUs and inform the undergraduate mathematics field at large.

TCU DRUM Circles empowers mathematics faculty at tribal colleges and universities to conduct research. It also raises student and community awareness of innovative practices in developmental mathematics and math pathways.

The project supports four TCU Research Fellows: 1. Daniel Luecke (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma), Turtle Mountain College 2. Heather Bleecker, Salish Kootenai College 3. Jeffrey Jones, Red Lake Nation College 4. Karen Colbert, Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College Each fellow will contribute to building knowledge and shared learning within the community of practice, attend conferences to raise awareness of mathematics research at TCUs, learn about innovations in the field, and conduct research. Research will be published in a special issue of the Tribal College and University Research Journal in fall 2026. TCU DRUM Circles will also publish reports to offer current and potential TCU faculty and students greater understanding of the mathematics field landscape and promising practices at TCUs.

OUR SACRED TEACHERS: FACULTY FELLOWS Karen Colbert Claims Space for Native Culture and Knowledge in Artificial Intelligence and Education with New Book Artificial Intelligence (AI) often replicates the inequities, systems, and values of the people who build and train it. Just ask Karen Colbert, whose new book, The Algorithm Wasn’t Built for Us: Reclaiming the Future of AI, Education, and Culture, offers a roadmap to educators, leaders, and communities hoping to use these tools to create more inclusive futures. Colbert is the General Education Department Chair and Lead Math Faculty at Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College. She also gives keynote talks and hosts professional development workshops around AI and cyberinfrastructure. Her book, Colbert says, is equal parts personal story, practical guide, and call to action based upon her lived experiences, doctoral dissertation research, and work at tribal colleges and universities (TCUs). During her Ph.D. studies in computational science and engineering, she focused on institutional change and data storytelling as tools for equity in higher education. Based upon her observation of how TCU faculty and students navigated challenges with AI, Colbert recognized a gap in the literature on the topic. No one was discussing who the evolving technology was or was not being built for.

Colbert’s book became a way for her to merge scholarship, advocacy, and storytelling into something accessible and useful. She has already shared insights from it at the Minority Serving Cyberinfrastructure Consortium Annual Meeting and the American Indian College Fund’s Faculty Convening. Colbert is currently building companion workbooks and digital toolkits to help faculty and administrators put the book’s ideas into practice as she continues to bring it to campuses across the country. Her long-term strategy is to ensure that every TCU and underserved institution has access to strategies, tools, and training that allow them to thrive in the AI era, not just survive it. “The biggest takeaway is this: AI is not neutral. It reflects the systems, values, and blind spots of the people who build and train it. But that doesn’t mean communities have to remain powerless. My hope is that readers walk away both challenged and empowered to see AI differently, to ask better questions, and to design practices in education and beyond that are rooted in cultural values, equity, and human dignity.”

" AI is not neutral. It reflects the

systems, values, and blind spots of the people who build and train it. ” - Karen Colbert
