"The best, hidden jewel of Benson County" is how many have described Cankdeska Cikana Community College (CCCC), the tribal college of the Spirit Lake Nation. Recent interviews with CCCC students, along with an American Indian College Fund/Gallup research study, show the positive impact that tribal colleges have on students. CCCC prides itself not only on its academics, but also the relationships and resources CCCC provides for students, including basic needs such as transportation, daycare, emergency funds for car repairs, furnaces, rent, scholarships, and tuition waivers. Faculty and staff have close relationships with students and will help any way they can to ensure students succeed, whether it's a ride to/from class, financial support, locating community resources, or just an ear for listening. To illustrate this point, the following three students were asked how CCCC has helped in their educational pathways and goals: (1) Starla Littlewind; (2) Nicholas Touche; and (3) Selena Old Rock. Their responses are presented in this article.
