As part of its mission to advance the public purposes of higher education, the Montana Campus Compact (MTCC) board seeks to raise awareness of the richness of indigenous knowledge in our state and center the people and institutions who lead the movement here. With the understanding that an eight-hour series will only scratch the surface, we are hopeful to inspire people to learn more and seek out ways of supporting tribal colleges and their work to advance and preserve indigenous knowledge.

Facilitated by former president of Blackfeet Community College, Dr. Karla Bird (Pikuni), this series will raise awareness of the histories, current offerings, and unique contributions of Aaniiih Nakoda College, Blackfeet Community College, Chief Dull Knife College, Fort Peck Community College, Little Big Horn College, Salish Kootenai College, and Stone Child College.
