Abstract	According to the American Council on Education, only 30% of all college and university presidents are women, and only 5% are women of color. However, 43% of presidents at tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) are women, and 100% of those women presidents are Native. Tribal colleges have always led the nation in appointing women presidents. But before there were women Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU) presidents, there were women working to make those opportunities possible. This article is a profile of two of those women--Ruth Roessel and Carol Davis, who are visionaries committed to place-based, culturally grounded higher education--and the central roles they played in shaping the tribal college movement.
