“You Have a Home Here”
This Indigenous methodological research study examines the impact of Gamma Delta Pi, Inc. (GDP), a Native American sisterhood that draws on the narratives of 24 sisters.

Visibilizing Indigenous Women and Femme Relatives’ Experiences in Higher Education”—Guest Editor Notes
Inspiring Empowerment, Leadership, and Advocacy of Indigenous Women Through a Native American Sorority
As the first inquiry of a Historically Native American Fraternity and Sorority (HNAFS), the purpose of this research study was to provide greater understanding of the impact of a Native American sisterhood. The genealogical connections (literature review) examined the recent work written about HNAFS and narrowed down the influence of HNAFS on Indigenous women scholars. Indigenous feminism guided the study as it describes how Native/Indigenous wom…
Visioning Indigenous Futures
In this article, we share how a Tribal–University partnership fosters and centers sovereignty and relationality in creating a Tribally based doctoral cohort. This is the first tribal–university partnership that offers a doctoral program on tribal lands. We have embedded a collective approach to support Indigenous students since its inception. We have approached belonging through an Indigenous way of being. This has included building relationality…

This article is a “talk story” among three Indigenous women who are connected in various ways but most recently through the heartwork of a tribal–university partnership for a tribally based doctoral cohort program. The first tribally based cohort includes representation of tribal nations from Washington State, Utah and New Mexico and all women. The contributors of this talk story include voices of a Muckleshoot partner who is an Indigenous educat…
Living Our Research Through Indigenous Scholar Sisterhood Practices
In this article, we explore the concept of Indigenous scholar sisterhood practices and its powerful role in affirming Indigenous women to survive and thrive in the act of research and the larger academic landscape. We address how we, as Indigenous women scholars, extend beyond transactional validity practices in qualitative research and engage in a collective form of validity that is holistic and grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing. We explore…

It provides opportunities for students to develop and strengthen their leadership skills through interaction with tribal leaders, contemporary and leadership focused workshops, and fellowship with other Native students. A research study was designed to asses…

The study surveys all Native students enrolled at the American university that produces the most Native graduates with bachelor's degrees. Although Native students value the benefits of study abroad, the study finds that they face a unique confluence of factors tha…
