California Indian Nations College established through a philanthropic $3 million gift from the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians; partners include College of the Desert, University of California Riverside, and Cal State San Bernardino.
“Our mission is to focus on encouraging higher education for Native Americans and non-Native students,” said Darrell Mike, Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians chairman. “Native American enrollment in higher education has dropped over the years; our goal is to prevent that from continuing by offering students the chance to learn and grow in a comfortable and welcoming environment.”
California Indian Nations College is a nonprofit tribal college headquartered in Palm Desert, California. Its purpose and mission are to integrate Native American cultures, traditions, and languages in higher education. California Indian Nations College offers culturally-responsive academic curriculum rooted in Native American values and provides personalized support to advance Native and non-Native student success. The college’s vision is to empower students to advance Native American cultures, languages, and sovereignties to promote Native, local, and global communities.
