Abstract	In 1999, the author was awarded a Scholars for the Dream Travel Award to help defray the costs of her attendance and presentation at the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC). Although she had been to the conference before, she had never presented a paper, and she was thrilled to be part of a group of scholars whose work was recognized by the meeting's organizers. What she did not know was at that meeting she would finally find a community of scholars whose work paralleled her own. She met these people the first time she attended the American Indian Caucus. As a person who places much emphasis on attending to her emotional, or "gut level," responses in different situations, she realized that she felt warmth from this group. They were an intertribal mix--ranging from Wampanoag to Miami to Cherokee--but their aims were similar: to shed light upon the intellectual concerns of Native peoples in this country today. In this article, the author outlines her work with the Native American Caucus and its support for Native scholars. (ERIC).
