A two-year program, based on the writing of Louise Erdrich, designed to enrich humanities courses by tying them to the Turtle Mountain reservation community.

Turtle Mountain Community College is proposing a two year humanities initiative designed to create a bridge between humanities courses and the reservation community. Academic coursework is usually separated from the world in which TMCC students live. The relevance of the courses is expected to foster student engagement in learning and encourage students to choose more humanities courses.
