It’s an amazing thing to be surrounded by hundreds, if not more than one thousand, American Indian college students attending a tribal college or university. There is palpable pride and excitement in the air as students share their achievements; compete in debate and other competitions; present their films, artwork, and scientific research to their peers; and participate in traditional dancing and Native games.

Take a look at some of the images we have captured of our students at this year’s conference in Bismarck, North Dakota and our tours of the neighboring tribal colleges at the American Indian College Fund’s Facebook page. Be sure to add us to your friend’s list and share your comments with us!
