Developing Your
Vision While
Attending College
Education is part of the web of life. We learn from our elders…we learn from nature.
In the process, we learn to honor and support our own cultural roots and traditions.
This Web site is devoted to helping you make a college education a reality so your
knowledge can benefit you, your family, and your tribe. Education is something to
be pursued throughout a lifetime. Click on each quadrant of the medicine wheel to
learn more about education's role throughout a lifetime.

Now is the time for discovering your natural abilities and interests. Your education
is a building block toward self-confidence. While you're learning math and science,
you also should be learning about your culture and rich history. You are a thread
in the web of life.

Humankind has not woven the Web of Life,
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together,
All things connect.

Learning more as a young
adult builds on skills you
already have and can lead to
a career or trade that enriches
your life and increases your
financial stability.

As an adult with responsibilities,
you know that continuing your
education keeps your skills sharp,
keeps you moving forward,
and sets an example to your
children and your community.

As an elder, you have
much to contribute from
your education and life
experiences to both kids
and adults. By continuing to
challenge yourself and learn
new things, you will always
have something valuable
to share with your family
and tribe.
