The Tribal Governance program has helped me grow into my role as First Chief of Circle.
No longer do I feel like I am struggling or blindly trying to figure stuff out. The
skills you learn in the program immediately improve your performance in the job you
have now.Jessica Fields, Tribal Governance
I encourage any student pursuing higher education to take a moment and think about
the seven generations behind them, that set the table for their journey. Then think
about the seven generations ahead whose journey you will impact once you become an
ancestor. This exercise is incredible humbling and enlightening.Vina 茮a虂qvas g岣诽亀虛a Brown, Indigenous Studies
I encourage others to further their education through the Alaska Native Studies and
Rural Development Program because it revitalized my motivation to continue my journey
in higher education. The faculty and staff at DANSRD gave me the opportunity to grow
professionally and personally through a curriculum that truly meets the needs of Alaska
Native and Indigenous people.
