STEM education and workforce preparation in STEM fields have been leading topics of conversation by academics and politicians for several years. Many believe that STEM workforce preparation is essential to the future of our nation in the 21st century and to American competitiveness in a global economy. Although there are numerous efforts to increase minority representation in STEM, minorities, including American Indians, still tend to have less participation in STEM education and STEM disciplines than other ethnic groups. However, American Indian students show significant interest in STEM, which is why this study wanted to investigate the high program completion rate for American Indian students at a technical college. Results showed that instructors and post-graduation plans have the greatest impact on retention and that student success may be related to the similarities between STEM pedagogy and the traditional American Indian learning style of observation, incubation, further observation, private practice, and performance
