AIHEC is a 501(c)(3) organization governed by a board of directors composed of the presidents of the accredited US-based Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). AIHEC is the unifying voice of 35 accredited and 2 developing TCUs and is committed to strengthening tribal nations and making a lasting difference in the lives of American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIs/ANs).
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation currently supports Open Education as a program at AIHEC and I am this program's director. Our program's goal is to increase adoption of open education textbooks to ease the financial burden of course materials for AI/AN students and promote open pedagogy to facilitate the incorporation of Traditional Knowledge (TK) into the curricula.
To support pedagogical communities at tribal colleges and universities as they increase the adoption rate of open educational resources and develop indigenous and indigenized content.
