The American Indian experience at the University of California, Davis is examined, with particular attention given to problems they encounter and to cultural and environmental supports needed for their survival. Information is provided on: the awareness of faculty, students and administrators of Indian culture, history, and problems; the entering characteristics of Indian students; their academic performance; their perceptions of the campus, including academic assistance, housing, and financial assistance; and needed cultural and environmental supports. The appendices contain a copy of the awareness questionnaire completed by a number of different campus groups (and the correct answers), the interview format used in conducting interviews with Indian students, and selected interview comments.
