The Evergreen State College has a proven history of educational service to the tribes. Through the development of the Northwest Indian Applied Research Institute, the college has taken its commitment to the indigenous people of Western Washington one step further. The Institute expands the services which the college can offer the tribes, enabling Evergreen to assist local tribes to meet their economic, governance and resource goals. At the same time, the Institute provides additional, real-life learning opportunities for Evergreen students.
The Institute is staffed by Evergreen faculty member Alan Parker (Chippewa-Cree), Director, Ginny Ith (Pala Band), Assistant Director, and Bonnie Graft (Muckleshoot/Skokomish) Program Assistant.
