The Navajo Community College, the first college created and run by Indians on a reservation, is seeking federal funding to move to a new location to improve education for Navajo students. Despite official encouragement, the government has not provided the necessary funds, causing doubts among the Navajo community. The college offers courses in vocational training, teaching, health care, law, Navajo culture, and English, and has gained national recognition for its success.
