Institutional Overview Aaniiih Nakoda College (ANC) is a tribally controlled community college located on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in northcentral Montana. The college was chartered in 1983 by the Fort Belknap Indian Community Council (FBICC), which serves as the governing body of the Aaniinen (White Clay People, also known as Gros Ventre) and Nakoda (Assiniboine) tribes of the Fort Belknap reservation. Originally established as Fort Belknap College, the college officially changed its name to Aaniiih Nakoda College in an historic ceremony that took place on September 21, 2011. Prior to 1983, Aaniiih Nakoda College operated as the Fort Belknap Resident Center of the College of Great Falls (1980-1982) and as a satellite campus of Chief Dull Knife College in Lame Deer, Montana (1982-1983). After receiving its official charter from the Fort Belknap Indian Community Council, ANC operated as a branch of Salish Kootenai College in Pablo, Montana, until 1987, when the college gained candidacy status to pursue accreditation. In 1993, Aaniiih Nakoda College gained accreditation through the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. ANC’s accreditation was most recently reaffirmed in August 2011, following the college’s Year One Evaluation in spring 2011. Aaniiih Nakoda College offers associate degrees in twelve areas of study. ANC offers Associate of Arts (A.A.) degrees in eight areas of study: American Indian Studies, Business, Business Technology, Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Human Services, Liberal Arts, and Psychology. The college offers Associate of Science (A.S.) degree programs in three areas of study: Allied Health, Computer Information Systems and Integrated Environmental Science. It also offers an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Carpentry. In addition to these twelve associate degree programs, ANC offers one-year Certificates of Completion in Carpentry, Health Science, Natural Resources-Water Quality, Tribal Management and Welding. The college employs 17 full-time and six part-time instructors. Thirty-five percent of the college’s full-time faculty members are American Indian, and 48 percent of all faculty (full-time and part-time) are American Indian. During the 2012-2013 academic year, ANC served a total of 494 students (duplicated head count). Eighty-four percent of ANC students are American Indian. Among Indian students at the college, 91 percent are enrolled members of the Aaniinen and Nakoda nations. The great majority of students live on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. Those students living off the reservation live in the neighboring towns of Harlem (3 miles northwest), Chinook (25 miles west), Dodson (30 miles east), and Havre (50 miles west). Most ANC students are high school graduates and first generation college students. Sixty percent of ANC students are female. The majority of students are single and many support dependent children. The average student age is approximately 23 years old, which is comparable to the national average. The overwhelming majority of students are low income (defined as membership in a family whose income is less than 50 percent of the poverty level), with 95 percent of students qualifying for federal financial aid. The characteristics of ANC’s student body presented in the previous paragraph reflect those of the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. The Aaniiih and Nakoda people of Fort Belknap are joined together as the Fort Belknap Indian Community, which was organized in 1934 under the Indian Reorganization Act. The total tribal enrollment is 7,000, and 2,851 enrolled tribal members live on the 675,147 acre reservation. Most residents live in the communities of Fort Belknap Agency, Hays and Lodgepole. Aaniiih Nakoda College is located at Fort Belknap Agency, which serves as the major residential community on the northern end of the reservation. Hays (35 miles south of Fort Belknap Agency) and Lodgepole (40 miles southeast) are the major residential communities on the southern end of the reservation. In addition, approximately 1,000 tribal members live off the reservation in the nearby communities of Harlem, Chinook, Dodson, and Havre. The resident population of the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation is, on average, very young, with 41 percent under the age of 20 (compared to only 25.3 percent for the state of Montana). The reservation also is extremely rural, with a population density of 2.5 persons per square mile, compared to a national average of 87.4 persons per square mile. Economically, Fort Belknap ranks among the poorest areas in Montana and the United States. 1 According to the Bureau of Indian Affairs Labor Force Report, Fort Belknap’s average annual unemployment rate is 70 percent. The median household income on the reservation is $32,778, which is $12,678 below the median household income for the state of Montana. The Fort Belknap Indian Community Council chartered Aaniiih Nakoda College on November 7, 1983, as a public, non-profit corporation for the purpose of providing postsecondary educational opportunities for residents of the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation and surrounding communities. College founders recognized that off- reservation educational opportunities available at that time were not adequately meeting the needs and interests of the vast majority of Fort Belknap community members. They envisioned Aaniiih Nakoda College as a tool to help rectify more than 100 years of substandard education, address generations of economic depression and associated social ills, and provide for the maintenance and revitalization

The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of survey components that collects data from about 7,500 institutions that provide postsecondary education across the United States. IPEDS collects institution-level data on student enrollment, graduation rates, student charges, program completions, faculty, staff, and finances. These data are used at the federal and state level for policy analysis and development; at the institutional level for benchmarking and peer analysis; and by students and parents, through the College Navigator (http://collegenavigator.ed.gov), an online tool to aid in the college search process. For more information about IPEDS, see http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds. What Is the Purpose of This Report? The Data Feedback Report is intended to provide institutions a context for examining the data they submitted to IPEDS. The purpose of this report is to provide institutional executives a useful resource and to help improve the quality and comparability of IPEDS data. What Is in This Report? As suggested by the IPEDS Technical Review Panel, the figures in this report provide selected indicators for your institution and a comparison group of institutions. The figures are based on data collected during the 2015-16 IPEDS collection cycle and are the most recent data available. This report provides a list of pre-selected comparison group institutions and the criteria used for their selection. Additional information about these indicators and the pre- selected comparison group are provided in the Methodological Notes at the end of the report.

    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.
