There is still a lot of work to be done. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 11 percent of American Indian/ Alaska Natives received a bachelor’s degree versus 31 percent for the total U.S. population in 2000. American Indians are still here. We are leading the way in education reform for our children and our future as rightful partners in America’s future. And the revolution is just getting started.

Richard B. Williams is president and CEO of the Denver-based American Indian College Fund.
