Though geography may play a part, Dr. Nicky addresses why there are differences in Tribal policy activities.
The more formal policies between the tribe and the public school, the more policy activities take place. There are more collaborative activities, even informal activities. More social and cultural activities and better feelings and relationships.
The official PhD paperwork arrived in today’s mail after 14 years of coursework, 6 hour commutes from home, IRB x 2 new systems, 2 advisors (I saved the best for last), data collection, & nearly 400 pages of writing. I’m a tired, battle worn but a highly qualified PhD proudly from University of WI-Madison’s School of Education. It literally doesn’t get better than that!! Thanks for all who stood by me, those who helped me along the way, and even those who walked away or doubted this day would come. It made me want it even more.
