NAU has strong connections with tribal colleges in Arizona and New Mexico (Dine College, Crownpoint Institute of Technology, and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute). We assisted Dine College's effort to put forward two Navajo Nation sites as possible gradient-experimental NEON sites.

Other efforts include:
        1) REU and Bridges programs serving Native students;
        2) Dine College collaboration to improve science courses and transfer to NAU for Dine College students;
        3) Field station and field research partnerships on the Prescott National Forest and Canyon de Chelly National
                Monument;
        4) GIS metadata Training for tribal professionals;
        5) Several NAU Centers and Institutes for outreach to Native communities (see also Potential Section).
