The series of workshops provides a holistic experience about the navigational journey of Indigenous students in higher education in terms of equity, inclusion, and accessibility. Their journey includes topics and issues such as colonial entanglement and de-colonization that speak on the current forms of tribal and inter-tribal governments (e.g., as trustees/stakeholders of education) and the contemporary positionality of intertribal narratives on higher education.
