Slightly more than 3% of
the student body at Great Basin College is of American Indian descent.
That is in the 95th percentile of more than 260 community colleges in
the nation.
My wife is 100% Native American. Her blood is Cherokee and Blackfoot. She was born in the late 50's raised in CA, AK and right here in Las Vegas. Her mother showed all three children as white (Caucasian) on their birth certificates because, back then, Native Americans got the rawest of deals and things have not improved much over time.
