The Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs  Education page lists a variety of information about colleges, education in general, Title VII and BIA Schools.  There is also contact information for organizations that offer scholarships, financial aid, collegiate organizations for Native Americans (such as AISES), and many other resources.  You can also see the number of Native American students in the state as of 2008 (9,494; 1.2%). 

In a section called Essential Understandings, there is a set of ten themes for understanding Native Americans in the State of Colorado. Recommendations are valuable for educators, and those who serve Native students and their families. As parents, these could help you as you evaluate the various educational opportunities and resources you choose for your children.

In 2011, the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs developed a series of educational posters. These posters are available from the CCIA.  Call the Lt. Governor’s office at 303-866-2087, or send a email to ltgovernor.garcia@state.co.us.  Posters can be downloaded from the photo site.

Food items will be collected till December 13th and the gloves will be
collected till December 15th.  Please help our schools address the needs of our children.
