Tribal College Movement
In 1968, the first tribal college
was created
by American Indians
for American Indians
Diné College, Navajo Nation:
4 Decades of Self-Determination

4. 37 TCUs – Over 88 Campus Sites in U.S.
Serving 65,000+ American Indians in 15 states through academic and
community education programs.
34 TCUs are chartered by their respective Tribal governments; 3 are
chartered by the U.S. government)

Higher Education
Where the American
Indians Are!
TCUs:
MT & ND: All Tribes = TCUs
AZ, MT, ND: Largest Tribes = TCUs

6. The collective
spirit and unifying
voice of our
nation’s Tribal
Colleges and
Universities.
AIHEC: Collective Voice & Spirit of TCUs…
• Today, AIHEC’s Duties & Potential Have Expanded,
Nationally & Internationally, including new partners (e.g.
Alliance)
• Established in mid-1970s to Advocate for Federal TCU
Legislation and Funding

11.  In the summer of 2010, a group of students and faculty at
SKC began the work of designing a CubeSat, a 10 cm X 10
cm X 10 cm satellite with a mass that does not exceed 1 kg.
It is named Nʷist Q́ ʷiq́ ʷay in the Salish language and is
commonly referred to as BisonSat.
 The primary objective of Nʷist Q́ ʷiq́ ʷay is educational, with
a secondary objective of demonstrating the acquisition of
targeted 100-meter or better resolution visible light imagery
of the Earth

12. Nanosatellite/Drone Electronics
Remote Sensing Systems
Design and development challenges:
 Command, Control, Data Handling
 RTOS – Real Time Operating System (FreeRTOS)
 Failure analysis – BisonSat not responding to
transmissions
Advanced Manufacturing applications:
 3D printed circuit boards
 Structural components
 Metrology

15. FES units store or release energy with the assistance of a drive unit and generator
respectively. The polar moment of inertia increases the energy capacity through mass
and diameter. It contributes as a linear factor. The rotational speeds which can reach
50K rpm in large systems contributes as the square of the speed.
 Heavier mass and higher speed is a tradeoff due to dynamic force issues
(centripetal forces, gyroscopic moments, imbalance).
 FES is a strong complimentary as well as alternative technology to batteries
without the drawbacks of extreme temperatures, shorter service life and on
demand need.
Sandia’s contributions: Technical information on current FWES design
methodologies and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques.

16. The use of Basalt continuous fiber reinforcement matrix with a Polyphenylene Sulfide
(PPS) resin carrier has excellent performance attributes in comparison to
Kevlar/Thermoset materials
 BMCC/GLCI has completed initial prototype work and testing as a
suitable alternative and is refining the process in final panel
manufacturing.
 Work will be conducted with CCCC/Sioux Manufacturing
Application: Electrical power systems require enclosures that are durable enough to
withstand sudden impact localized forces, non-conductive, flame/ignition resistance,
chemical/corrosion resistance and have environmental stability.
Sandia’s contributions: state-of-the-art information in advanced materials for high speed
projectile protection
Impact Resistant Panels

17. Concrete foundations and lighter weight support structures are relying more on fiber reinforced composite
materials.
 Increasing the concrete strength range into the tensile region of loading combined with a reinforcement
matrix that is impervious to chemical/corrosion attack and subsequent substrate fracture are highly
desired.
 Two prototype thermoplastic reinforcement components (composite rebar and flexible Geo-mesh) have
been developed for concrete.
 The materials selected for these were a low cost polypropylene resin and continuous fiber Basalt
formulation.
 BMCC/GLCI has extensive experience in light weighting applications of structures/support systems and
will be engaging Navajo Tech in related R&D
