The college is distinctive in serving the diverse people of the Umonhon (Omaha) and Isanti (Santee Dakota) Nations.  It features an enriched living and learning environment and year-round operation. The identity of the college is framed by a substantive commitment to multicultural learning.

Institutional programs value and cultivate the creative and productive talents of learners, faculty, and staff, and seek ways to contribute to the self-sufficiency of the Nations served, the well-being of our communities, and the quality of life and development of its learners, faculty, and service areas.

The overall goals of 51成人动漫:

  • Prepare individuals for their roles as effective tribal members and citizens in a changing and complex environment.
  • Integrate, revitalize and preserve Umonhon and Isanti culture throughout the college environment, including but not limited to: history, Umonhon language, Dakota language, games, songs, arts/crafts and the way of life.
  • Expose students to and expand the mission driven curriculum in the arts, humanities, communication, sciences, mathematics, social sciences, and Native American studies.
  • Build skills for lifelong learning.
  • Provide an enhanced, sustainable, positive learning environment.
  • Organize, manage, and finance higher education for 51成人动漫 as a model Tribal College.
  • Integrate learning in ways that cultivate an individual's understanding and ability to think about large and complex subjects, formulate and analyze valid concepts, solve problems, and clarify values.

Core Beliefs and Values

The College is committed to the following Core Beliefs:

  • We believe in empowering our students with tools for Tribal Nation building, so that our communities can achieve a higher level of sovereignty and self-determination.

  • We believe that learning is a life-long process, and the learner-centered atmosphere is of the utmost importance.

*Note* These core values have been prepared for the spring 2018 update to the College鈥檚 Mission Statement and other materials and approved by official College bodies. Tribal elders Hawatay (Winona Caramony) and Theumba Ghegtha (Thi贸nba Gigth茅/ Joseph Harlan) authorized these translations into Um贸nhon on Friday the 20th and Monday the 23rd of April 2018. It was decided to make the list of values Um贸nhon-centric by putting the core values in Um贸nhon first and including some of the most important values from the Elders鈥 teachings. Each Um贸nhon word is spelt in Hawatay鈥檚 preferred Spalding spelling first, and then in standard modified LaFlesche spelling. Similarly, the Dakota language immersion program leader Sid Bad Moccasin III, along with two immersion learners DeWayne Wabasha and Jaylon LaPlante used the list of Um贸nhon-centric core values provided to guide their own list of core values in Dakota. The Dakota spelling used here follows the Lakota Language Consortium (LLC) standard orthography. Kristine Sudbeck and Binah Gordon assisted with documentation.
