From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Red Crow Community College is a college located on the Kainai Nation reserve in southern Alberta, Canada. There is also a campus in Lethbridge.

[edit] History

Red Crow Community College was founded in 1986. It was placed under the direction of the Blood Tribe Education Committee, and started as an adult education center. The curriculum was two high school courses (UCEPP), one University of Lethbridge course, and a study skills component.

On 6 January 1992, Marie Smallface Marule became president of the college.

In early 1995 the college became the first Tribal College in Canada. Its board of governors was officially sanctioned by the Blood tribe chief and council, transferring governance for its education from the Kainaiwa Board of Education to the board.

Red Crow Community College offers diploma and degree programs in partnership with the University of Calgary and the University of Lethbridge. It also provides adult upgrading, continuing, and community education.
