California has no accredited Native American colleges. That could change.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:10:57 GMT

It has been a generation since California had an accredited tribal college serving the state’s Native American residents. An Inland Empire college is trying to change that.“We have more than 1.4 million American Indians living in California,” said Celeste Townsend, president of California Indian Nations College. “And yet not one (accredited) tribal college.”Compare that to Oklahoma — the state has one-third the Native population of California but three tribal colleges.“There’s something wrong there,” Townsend said. “We’re going to be changing that.”Attendees of the Gathering Under the Stars event were greeted by several vendors selling Native American jewelry, clothing, and other items at the Gathering Under the Stars event at California Indian Nations College in Palm Desert on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023.
