As the end of my ETEC 521 journey draws near and I am hammering away at my final paper the indigenous portal website is among those that I am looking to draw inspiration from. Here in a story entitled American Indian students find refuge in cultural curriculum I learned how tribal colleges came into being in the United States of America and the role that the government played in this. It started with the Tribally Controlled Community College Assistance Act  that was signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1978 and authorized federal assistance to American Indian colleges. Next came the designated as land-grant institutions in 1994, giving them the opportunity to apply for millions of dollars in grant money. As a result of these there are 37 tribal colleges in the United States that are created and chartered by American Indian people with the specific purpose of offering higher education based in American Indian culture. We can definitely learn from this in the Caribbean.
