CINC will provide students with support services and specialized programs for the general benefit of American Indian students and other students interested in Native American people, cultures, languages, policies, and tribal sovereignty.
VISION STATEMENT
CINC will serve as an exemplary institution of higher education that will prepare students to be intellectually and culturally grounded.
