With its founding in 1998, Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College joined the larger tribal college movement. In 2007 the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College became an accredited higher education organization. This accomplishment moved the vision of the Tribal Council , to “enable Native Americans to achieve a significant position in the world’s emerging economy”, to a reality. And while this success provides the opportunity of higher education to Native Americans it does so while promoting values, history, traditions, and wisdom of the Anishinaabe.
