Vision
To provide a continuum of quality education services that promotes lifelong learning for the Saginaw Chippewa Community.
Our Mission Statement
As tribal people, we view the world differently from others and therefore our needs are unique. Many of our tribal members move between two distinct worlds daily as they pursue continuing education or employment. As the Tribal Education Department we strive to bridge the gap between these worlds and help tribal members of all ages to be successful through a wide array of services. We remain sensitive to the unique cultural needs of our members by designing programs which are immersed in our cultural heritage and learning styles. It is our innate knowledge of how we live and learn which enables us to provide practical programs to our community. Our services begin in early childhood and continue throughout graduate study at public colleges and universities.
