Native Indigenous Peoples SIG
- Bringing together professionals with interest or experience in supporting Native students,
- Promulgating good practices in advising, recruiting and graduating Native students,
- Reaching out to Native professionals and encouraging membership in NACAC and
- Proposing initiatives that will allow NACAC to better serve this lightly recognized population.
The indigenous peoples of the United States are less likely to gain access to postsecondary education than any other ethnic population in America. Those who do frequently make use of a Tribal College system that would benefit from the work of NACAC.
