- Description:
- The Navajo Community College, the first college run by Indians on a reservation, is seeking federal funding to move to nearby land. The need for better education among Navajo students is great, as dropout rates are high. The college offers courses in vocational training, teaching, health care, law, Navajo culture, and English. Despite official encouragement, the government has not provided funding, causing doubt among Navajos. The success of the college is well known nationally, but funding delays are causing concern for the future of the institution.
