Nataska Rouse • Dad attended when it was a Junior College • Majoring in American Indian Studies • Plans to attend Nursing School • “I believe having a AIS degree will benefit me once I become a nurse because having a degree in American studies will give me the apprenticeship of different cultures.”

  7. Mykel Salazar • First to attend a Tribal College • Majoring in American Indian Studies • Plans to attend Law School • “Since I want to go into Tribal Law, attending a Tribal College will give me the tools and network to get me into and through Law School.”

  8. Rebecca Panther • Grandparents attended Haskell when it was a Junior College. Also several cousins attended. • Thinking about majoring in Business • Wants to go to Law School • How do you think a tribal college will help you accomplish that? “Because I want to be involved in Indian law in some way, I think that coming from a college where I've been exposed to different tribes will help broaden my outlook about natives and teach me more about the issues involving native americans on reservations.”
