For example, the expectation that students go to college to find themselves and gain independence from their families is a distinctly White 418 College & Research Libraries May 2022 middle-class value that contradicts many Native students’ need for cultural connection and desire to give back to their communities.16 To support Native students, several scholars have argued that institutions of higher education need to adopt culturally responsive education practices that further the goals of Native American sovereignty, self-determination, and nation building.17 Building on Critical Race Theory, Brayboy proposed a Tribal Critical Race Theory (TribalCrit), which outlines cen- tral tenets of a framework to address Native Americans’ complex relationship to the United States government and society.18 Based on the primary tenet that “colonization is endemic to society,” TribalCrit articulates eight additional tenets addressing issues such as imperialism, White supremacy, sovereignty, assimilation, liminality, cultural knowledge, and tradition.19 As such, TribalCrit can provide a useful lens for understanding and addressing issues facing Native American students in higher education. cache/crl-24739.pdf txt/crl-24739.txt
