| Abstract | Tribal colleges are often performing little miracles in their communities. Most tribal colleges operate without benefit of local and state taxes. Yet, they bring in new money from other sources that stimulate the local economy. Students gain knowledge and skills that can transform their communities and local economies. Tribal colleges not only educate individual students, but also promote positive economic impact across reservations and regions. The presence of a tribal college enhances a community, making it attractive to potential business ventures. Currently, there are 37 tribal colleges in the United States and one international member in Canada. According to data gathered by the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) in 2000, tribal colleges attract businesses and industry by increasing the skills of the local workforce. They also help develop small businesses and entrepreneurs by providing Small Business Development Centers, incubation services, and specially targeted programs. And they contribute to technology transfer by demonstrating new technologies and serving as information clearinghouses. (ERIC). |
