Did you know there's
a tribal university
and tribal
radio station
on the Lac Courte
Oreilles reservation
in northern Wisconsin?
I'm Erica Ayisi, a reporter
with PBS Wisconsin.
I spoke with the interim
president of the Lac
Courte Oreilles
Ojibwe University
about changes
to the Pell Grant
and other federal changes
impacting students
in the school year.
I also spoke
with the
general manager of WOJB
about sustaining the tribal
radio station once
federal funding ends.
But the federal government
agreed to care
for all Native Americans
through a series of treaties
during the 1800s
in exchange for their land.
If you want to know more
about how federal
funding impacts tribal
colleges and tribal
radio stations
