Native students’ experiences at a predominantly white institution

Abstract

This study highlights the experiences of Native American students at a predominantly white institution to understand how to better support them. It is important to do this research because Native students are not represented. An Indigenous research method was the most appropriate method to use for this research, because I am Native, and the students are Native. The findings indicated that this group of students would like to have their own dedicated space on campus, be acknowledged and represented, have more support from staff and faculty on campus, and be made aware of resources. These answers can help predominantly white campuses better support their Native student population.
