91ÁÔÆæ will host the 2026 Summer TCU Conference, Rooted in Resilience: Tribal Colleges and Universities Shaping Stronger Futures, July 27–30 on the SKC campus.

A Reflection of Our Community

This episode is more than a look at a campus. Instead, it is a celebration of our “living classroom” here in the Mission Valley. This feature highlights the revitalization of our ancestral languages and groundbreaking research in STEM. Furthermore, ten remarkable students and alumni shared their authentic stories to help build this episode.

For instance, you will hear from students like Wacey McClure. He carries the voices of our ancestors into the future through language studies. Similarly, Anna Robertson traveled from Alaska to find a home in our pre-dental program. These are not just success stories. Rather, they are “buffalo trails” of resilience, service, and innovation.

Education for Everyone

While we are a leader in Indigenous higher education, our doors are open to everyone. SKC is an open-enrollment institution. We proudly welcome Native and non-Native students from all backgrounds and over 60 different tribes. Whether you are from the local community or traveling from afar, you will find a supportive “family” here.

Coffee with President Munson

The feature includes an intimate “Coffee with the President” segment with our own Dr. Michael Munson. During this candid conversation, Dr. Munson reflects on her own journey as a student and leader. She explains how SKC supports students through a variety of unique needs. Additionally, she discusses our mission to meet the needs of our tribal nations. This includes our master’s program in Natural Resource Management and the nation’s only Tribal Historic Preservation program.

Join the Journey

It truly “takes a village” to bring a project like this to life. We are grateful to the students, faculty, and staff who shared what SKC means to them. Therefore, we invite you to sit with us for a while and experience the spirit of the Bison.

Whether you seek your own path or wish to learn about Indigenous higher education, we have gathered everything in one place. Explore the beauty and the heart of SKC today!

The grant will provide direct assistance to students in our vital Highway Construction and Building Trades programs, aligning perfectly with the economic development priorities of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. As SKC President Michael M. Munson emphasized, “it’s an investment in our students, our families, and our Tribal communities,” creating pathways to family-sustaining careers and elevating the image of skilled trades. Our existing programs, such as the comprehensive Highway Construction Training (HCT) program, which provides technical skills for heavy equipment operators and truck drivers, and the collaborative welding course, exemplify this commitment to workforce development.

The Metallica Scholars Initiative, launched in 2019 by All Within My Hands in partnership with the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), has expanded significantly, now reaching 75 colleges across all 50 U.S. states and Guam, impacting an estimated 10,000 students. Metallica band member Robert Trujillo expressed immense pride in the scholars, highlighting the Foundation’s positive impact on putting “hard-working people on the path to careers in the trades”. This initiative’s proven return on investment, with graduates earning an average of 8.3 times their program’s upfront cost in their first year, underscores its transformative power.

At SKC, our mission is deeply rooted in providing quality education for American Indians and perpetuating the cultures of the SéliÅ¡, Ksanka, and Qlispe’ peoples, empowering students to improve their families and communities through service and research. This partnership with Metallica and its All Within My Hands Foundation embodies our core values, especially the 4Cs – Cultural Awareness, Communication, Critical Thinking, and Citizenship – by fostering engaged contributors who are ready to make a tangible difference in their communities. We are incredibly proud to join this movement, building resilient communities through education.

Hands-On Learning & Direct Path to Apprenticeship

This course offers comprehensive, hands-on training in shielded metal arc welding, equipment setup, and critical safety practices. What truly sets this opportunity apart is that those who complete the course successfully are eligible to enter the Ironworker apprenticeship program. Apprentices earn a starting wage of approximately $25.40 per hour, with consistent increases over a four-year training period, leading to a journey-level ironworker earning around $50 per hour plus national mobility, living wage, healthcare, and retirement benefits – a secure foundation for your career. Furthermore, participants will receive a $100 daily stipend for full attendance, supporting your journey as you gain valuable skills without significant financial burden.

Empowering Our Communities

SKC is committed to empowering Native communities by filling unmet needs and fostering strength from within. This Welding Course exemplifies that mission, prioritizing enrolled members or first-generation descendants of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes for the limited 10 training positions. By training skilled professionals, we collectively build a more resilient and sustainable future for all.

Limited Enrollment – Secure Your Spot!

The course runs Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, from August 11 to October 3, 2025, at the SKC Highway Construction Training facility in Pablo. Attendance and punctuality are required.
