About the Book

Without college-educated Native Americans, tribal communities will continue to have less income, high poverty, and have poorer health care. In order to retain and graduate Native American students, universities and colleges must first listen to their stories and begin to understand the strategies they use to overcome obstacles in order to succeed academically. Researchers have explored success factors, drop-out rates and reasons, and retention issues for Native students and have even provided ways to improve student services to Native students for better retention and graduation rates. However, higher education institutions cannot begin to assist Native students until they learn how these students cope with a whole gamut of barriers they encounter while in college. This study took a phenomenological approach in identifying, describing and understanding the narratives of academic success by Native American students, focusing on the strategies used to overcome obstacles. Focus groups, one-on-one interviews, and journaling were conducted with 13 undergraduate Native American students at a Midwestern university. The major themes that emerged from the data were: motivation factors related to Native American students staying in college and succeeding; coping skills with personal and academic obstacles; how Native American students define college success; and strategies used to enhance their academic success. Colleges and universities across the country have the chance to implement change for the Native American students on their campuses. There are a wide range of options on ways they can begin to work on improving the success of their Native students. Institutions of higher education who can offer Native students the vision and the opportunity to use their education to serve their communities have the potential to increase the success or graduation rate.
