Abstract	For a tribal college or university (TCU), cyberinfrastructure includes not only the campus computer labs, servers, routers, and software applications, but the classroom technology, research laboratories, library facilities, and personnel who operate and maintain these resources. The cyberinfrastructure at a TCU is a foundational tool that ties the campus workforce efforts and therefore the entire institution closer together, enabling achievement of the TCU's academic, research, business, and service missions. The American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Team formed in 2016 to conduct a study of TCU cyberinfrastructures to better understand the status of their information technology (IT) capacities. Since the start of that study, the AIHEC CI Team has identified major challenges to TCU cyberinfrastructures and worked with the IT staff at TCUs to address their most prominent CI challenges and develop the first community of practice (CoP) for their IT directors and chief information officers (CIOs).
