Assessment in a Tribal College Context: a Case Study of NWIC
ASSESSMENT IN A TRIBAL COLLEGE CONTEXT: A CASE STUDY OF NORTHWEST INDIAN COLLEGE by ANNE MARIE KARLBERG B.Sc. (Honours), The University of Toronto, 1986 M.P.H., Tulane University, 1989 B.Ed., The University of Toronto, 1992 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Educational Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA July 2007 © Anne Marie Karlberg, 2007 ABSTRACT Approximately 32 tribal colleges are located on reservations in the United States. Their aim is to provide Native American students with a culturally relevant and meaningful post- secondary education. Assessment uses methods of applied research to improve student learning. The aim of this study is to advance theoretical and applied knowledge in the field of assessment within tribal colleges. This undertaking is noteworthy given that tribal colleges are vital to the development and future of Native American communities. I use a case study methodology to examine a specific assessment program that is being developed at Northwest Indian College (NWIC), a tribal college in Washington state. In this study, I provide responses to three research questions: (1) What criteria are best used to evaluate an assessment program in a tribal college context? (2) Which elements of the NWIC assessment program are most and least successful according to the evaluative criteria established in Research Question 1? and (3) What preconditions and other contextual factors contribute to the relative success or failure of different elements of the NWIC assessment program? I review the history of Native Americans in higher education, provide an overview and critique of the emerging assessment movement, and discuss the state of assessment within the tribal college system.

Gaming revenue is a major source of funding to pay for tribal government services. 11 Tribes are investing in new initiatives to diversify their economic base. Investments range from hotels to golf 1 courses to shopping centers. 19 Tribes employ more than 30,000 people statewide and pay more than $1.5 billion annually in wages and beneﬁts. Capital spending, and the purchase of goods and services from private companies, adds billions more dollars to the state’s economy each year. Tribal economic activities also generate millions of dollars in federal, state and local taxes. 29 Washingtontribes.org is a public education program of the Washington Indian Gaming Association. washingtontribes.org 3 1.

TRIBAL Colleges & Universities: Educating, Engaging, Innovating
AMERICAN INDIAN HIGHER EDUCATION CONSORTIUM TRIBAL Colleges & Universities: Educating, Engaging, Innovating, Sustaining, Honoring AIHEC Native American Research Center for Health (NARCH) Project Summary Report Trauma—including historical trauma—is a crippling reality among Indigenous nations, impacting many of the 5.2 million American Indians and Alaska Natives in this country. To the leaders of the largest education system created to serve Indian Country—the nation’s 37 Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs)—this reality has reached a tipping point. Operating more than 75 campuses and sites across 16 states and serving 160,000 AI/ANs from more than 250 federally recognized Indian tribes each year (AIHEC, 2016), TCU faculty and staff are on the frontline in addressing the behavior health needs of their students, families, and communities. They know all too well the toll that unmet health and wellness challenges are having on teaching and learning, and more systemically, the threat they pose to the sovereignty and sustainability of our tribal nations. TCUs also know that effective solutions to reverse the generational impact of historical trauma must come from within Native communities. TCUs are the best resource to implement the tribally-driven and tribally- directed research needed to find answers. But currently, the capacity to conduct the research we need, on the scale that we need it, does not exist. The AIHEC NARCH Project is working to build research capacity in behavioral health at TCUs to find answers and share them with all AI/AN communities. Overview of Sub-Award Projects and Status The AIHEC NARCH Behavioral Health Initiative is a 5-year project launched in 2013 to build tribal research capacity in behavioral health through two 2-year cohorts of competitively selected TCUs engaging in professional development, community-based participatory research, and research partnerships with tribes and R-1 institutions.

A Study of Shared Governance Northwest Indian College
A Study of Shared Governance Northwest Indian College Bellingham, WA A Report Prepared By Karen Gayton Comeau, Ed.D. Spring, 2010 A Study of Shared Governance at NWIC Spring 2010 Introduction Located on the Lummi Nation in northwestern Washington, Northwest Indian College (NWIC) serves the citizens of the Coast Salish Lummi Nation and non-citizens through its main campus near Bellingham, Washington, and surrounding tribal and non- tribal residents through extended full service sites at Muckleshoot, Port Gamble, Swinomish, and Tulalip in Washington and Nez Perce in Idaho. Chartered in 1983 by the Lummi Nation as Lummi Community College, it grew out of the Lummi Indian School of Aquaculture, which was founded in 1973. In 1989, Lummi Community College’s name was changed to Northwest Indian College in order to meet its mandate to serve other tribes throughout the Northwest. The College received full accreditation in 1993, with reaffirmation of accreditation in 1998 and 2008. The curriculum at the main campus and extended sites is delivered to approximately 1200 students by 27 full time or pro rata (50% or more on a prorated full time annual contract) faculty, the majority of whom are located at the Lummi campus, and 71 part time faculty, who primarily provide instruction at extended campus site; several staff employees also receive part time faculty contracts to teach one or two classes Purpose of the Study The purpose of this study of shared governance at Northwest Indian College was to: 1. Describe the extent of faculty involvement in governance at NWIC. 2. Describe the understanding of the administration, faculty, and Board of Trustees regarding shared governance, decision making processes, and domains and responsibilities of each entity.

There are 38 Tribal Colleges and Universities in the United States and 26 Indigenous post-secondary institutions in Canada. Deploying a critical discourse analysis, the study examines IHEI websites to document Indigenous environmental sustainability education (ESE) program offerings. The comparative analysis of IHEI programming in each national context finds that 41 out of 62 IHEIs in Canada and the United States have Indigenous ESE programs. Findings also indicate that ESE programs are more prevalent among IHEIs in the United States than in Canada. Moreover, IHEIs in the United States also offered greater diversity of program types, from certificates to graduate studies. The findings highlight the importance of IHEI environmental and sustainability education program design for centering Received October 1, 2020; revised April 1, 2021; accepted June 17, 2021; electronically published August 2, 2021 91 Indigenous Knowledge in higher education through Indigenous-controlled institutions.
