IAIA President Dr. Robert Martin to Retire
“I am honored to have served as president of four tribal colleges in 40 years. It has been a blessing, as I have had ample opportunities to improve higher education for our people,” Dr. Martin said.
The American Indian College Fund joins the National College Access Network to urge higher education allies to oppose massive cuts to the Pell Grant program that will fund tax cuts for the wealthy and increase our national debt.
We are learning when the U.S. government entered into trust and treaty relationships with Indians Tribes as sovereign nations, the federal government instead used much of the money held in trust for Native people to forcibly relocate their children to boarding schools.
