FINDINGS TO DATE Working with Montana Tribal colleges and communities Surveying TCU students, faculty members Interviewing Tribal elders, college administrators, Tribal government officials and department heads
ELDERS INTERVIEWS We are different from the rest of the United States. If there was to be research done and in the “right way”, a respectful way, it would be a good thing to help our people. I just want to see this research center be a reality and do what it supposed to do. People will use it. It’s not just for us, but for the future. Start now, don’t wait until tomorrow.

SKC ADMINISTRATOR INTERVIEWS I am hoping that (the center) will take life. It belongs in a tribal college… I think this is very important. It’s us doing instead of it being done to us. The center would help people to do their research around Indigenous issues in a more responsible and respectful way. An Indigenous research center is another tool students will have to help them be more successful wherever they end up.
FUTURE MOVES Continue Report Use our data collection and analyses our findings to our partners and NSF our findings to help us secure funding for the center, if deemed appropriate
