Abstract

Leaders of tribal colleges and other universities are gathering in Albuquerque to discuss ways to better share their accomplishments. These schools have begun innovative programs in areas such as buffalo restoration, tribal business development, cultural preservation and student achievement. Yet few Americans have heard this good news. How do we get the word out? Guests include Louis LaRose, director of the Northern Plains Bison Education Network and Dr. Carolyn Elgin, president of the Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute.
