AMERICAN INDIAN STUDENT MOTIVATION vi American Indian Student Motivation at a Tribal College by Rebecca L. Izzo B.S. English, Northern Arizona University, 1992 M.Ed. Education Psychology, Arizona State University, 2005 Ph.D. Educational Psychology, University of New Mexico, 2018 Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore relationships between motivational characteristics of American Indian college students attending a tribal college. The Inventory of School Motivation (ISM) was utilized to identify motivational constructs. The literature in general continues to portray American Indian students as the lowest academically achieving subgroup as well as having a lack of persistence and high dropout rate in higher education. This study identified areas that support motivation to attend college, which then can be shared with the tribal college to develop programs and innovations to recruit and sustain American Indian students in education, as well as contribute to much-needed American Indian education literature. The study distinguished the motivational characteristics among American Indian students that supported them in attending college.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles California Tribal Nations and the University: Examining Institutional Relationships, Responsibility and Reciprocity A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Education by Theresa Jean Ambo 2017 © Copyright by Theresa Jean Ambo 2017 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION California Tribal Nations and the University: Examining Institutional Relationships, Responsibility and Reciprocity by Theresa Jean Ambo Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Sylvia Hurtado, Chair There is an educational attainment crisis among American Indian students in California’s public colleges and universities, who continue to have the lowest college completion compared to any underrepresented group. California tribes believe that higher education can assist in the achievement of nation-building goals. However, close examination of how tribes and postsecondary institutions work together to ensure the success of American Indian students and their communities is necessary. This study examined contemporary relationships between tribal nations and public postsecondary universities in California. This nested, multiple case study used Tribal Critical Race Theory and community-campus partnership frameworks to understand how institutional agents articulate formal and informal relationships with local tribes. Case study sites consisted of two University of California campuses, non-federally recognized tribes, and proximally located federally recognized tribes. Documents and interviews with senior ii administrators, American Indian unit heads, and tribal representatives were collected and analyzed to understand different perspectives on relationships with, responsibility to, and educational needs of tribes within and across sites. Several findings emerged related to the limited knowledge university administrators had regarding American Indians broadly and the state of relations with California tribes.
