A Case Study of the Little Big Horn College Mission by Nathaniel Rick St Pierre a Thesis Submit Listening to the student voice : a case study of the Little Big Horn College Mission by Nathaniel Rick St Pierre A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Montana State University © Copyright by Nathaniel Rick St Pierre (1996) Abstract: Little Big Horn College (LBHC), located in southeastern Montana, plays a significant role in the lives of students and community members. However research with and about student participation in the tribal college experience is scarce. This study acknowledges the history, present condition, and future considerations of the Crow people as well as LBHC's involvement in its own educational and social movement. Although often overlooked, the student role must be recognized as a vital, integral part of educational process. The purpose of this study was to elicit student perceptions of the LBHC mission. A cross-section of 28 LBHC students were interviewed for this descriptive case study. The investigation of the institutional effectiveness of LBHC involved gathering information from students and then categorizing their responses into five analytical areas. These areas included the experiences of students with the Crow culture and language at the college, the value placed on their own education by the students, the degree to which LBHC's programming meets the needs of each student, the psychological and sociological barriers to education, and the ways in which opportunities are provided through the college mission. Four conclusions were drawn for each of the five areas of categories regarding the student perception of the LBHC mission. Recommendations were provided for each of these areas. Collectively, the testimony of students clearly reveals that a special relationship exists between LBHC and its students. The college is providing a culturally-relevant learning experience. The college is accessible to its students and community. It is meeting the needs of people on the Crow Reservation better than any other institution of higher education. It is facilitating its students to overcome barriers to learning. It is also creating opportunities to empower people.

  • Prestige Label Discography
    Discography of the Prestige Labels Robert S. Weinstock started the New Jazz label in 1949 in New York City. The Prestige label was started shortly afterwards. Originaly the labels were located at 446 West 50th Street, in 1950 the company was moved to 782 Eighth Avenue. Prestige made a couple more moves in New York City but by 1958 it was located at its more familiar address of 203 South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey. Prestige recorded jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. The New Jazz label issued jazz and was used for a few 10 inch album releases in 1954 and then again for as series of 12 inch albums starting in 1958 and continuing until 1964. The artists on New Jazz were interchangeable with those on the Prestige label and after 1964 the New Jazz label name was dropped. Early on, Weinstock used various New York City recording studios including Nola and Beltone, but he soon started using the Rudy van Gelder studio in Hackensack New Jersey almost exclusively. Rudy van Gelder moved his studio to Englewood Cliffs New Jersey in 1959, which was close to the Prestige office in Bergenfield. Producers for the label, in addition to Weinstock, were Chris Albertson, Ozzie Cadena, Esmond Edwards, Ira Gitler, Cal Lampley Bob Porter and Don Schlitten. Rudy van Gelder engineered most of the Prestige recordings of the 1950’s and 60’s. The line-up of jazz artists on Prestige was impressive, including Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Art Farmer, Red Garland, Wardell Gray, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet, “Brother” Jack McDuff, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Don Patterson, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Scott, Sonny Stitt and Mal Waldron.

    STATEMENT OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN HIGHER EDUCATION CONSORTIUM DR. DAVID YARLOTT CHAIR, AIHEC BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRESIDENT, LITTLE BIG HORN COLLEGE– CROW AGENCY, MONTANA U.S. SENATE - COMMITTEE ON INDIAN AFFAIRS HEARING ON SAFELY REOPENING BUREAU OF INDIAN EDUCATION SCHOOLS July 29, 2020 Chairman Hoeven, Vice-Chairman Udall, and members of the Committee, on behalf of my institution, Little Big Horn College in Crow Agency, Montana and the 36 other Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) that collectively are the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC), thank you for inviting me to testify on the efforts of TCUs to safely remain open in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. My name is Baluxx Xiassash -- Outstanding Singer. I am a member of the Uuwuutasshe Clan and a child of the Uuwuutasshe Clan of the Apsáalooke or Crow Indians. The Crow reservation is located in what is now south-central Montana and contains about 3000 square miles – a territory larger than the state of Rhode Island. In the early 1980s, my tribe established Little Big Horn College, forging a new tradition in education to grow an Apsáalooke workforce that would rebuild and sustain our tribal families, communities, and lands. The goal was to establish a lasting tradition of advanced training and higher education, for a good path into the future for the Crow People. I am proud to say that I am a product of my tribe’s commitment to higher education: I attended Little Big Horn College as a student (returning years later to earn a degree); I served on the faculty of Little Big Horn College; and after earning advanced degrees, I became an administrator at the college.

This report is the culmination of the evaluation, which included site visits ano field hearings. The largely undocumented knowledge base of Native American experience must be recorded and preserved if it is not to be lost. Ten major challenges were identified on topics such as funding support, training and technical assistance, tribal library holdings, cooperative activities, state and local partnerships, federal policy, model programs, museum and archival services, adult and family literacy programs, and newer information technology. The report contains detailed descriptions of Commission activities and incorporates a "Summary Report" (also published separately), as well as the "Long Range Action Plan" containing strategies for high quality information services to Native American peoples.

    G. Summary of identification and Evaluation Methods Discuss the methods used in developing the multiple property listing. The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, using federal financial assistance, contracted with the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office to conduct an intensive cultural resource inventory of the Bozeman Trail in Wyoming. This historic resource received priority because it passes through the Powder River Basin, an area heavily impacted by energy development. The study area for the inventory included the corridor paralleling and containing the trail as well as historic sites associated with the route. The object was to identify and inventory the trail's cultural resources and evaluate those resources for their eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The survey and inventory work will also assist in planning future mining and energy exploration in Converse, Campbell, Johnson and Sheridan Counties and for review and compliance activities of the Wyoming SHPO. |X I See continuation sheet H.
