American Indians for Higher Education
The American Indian Recruitment program was established at SDSU to promote success in academics in the American Indian community.
Monday, July 15, 2013
By Hallie Jacobs
In 1993, Dwight Lomayesva ('99), a Hopi Tribal member and San Diego State University student, noticed a shortage of American Indians in higher education.
In an effort to increase American Indian enrollment, he (along with others) partnered with the SDSU Dept. of American Indian Studies to promote higher education and success in the American Indian community and American Indian Recruitment was born.
Twenty years later, the program that caters to young members of San Diego American Indian tribes is still going strong.

Top 50 coaches: No. 18 Steve Fisher
It really felt like last year would be the year.
San Diego State had been good, and occasionally great, in every season since 2009, but in 2010-11, the Aztecs had a breakthrough -- a 34-3 season fueled by a deep group of seniors, a ferocious and athletic defense, and a previously unheralded sophomore named Kawhi Leonard, who turned out to be pretty good.

AmeriCorps Expands Presence in Tribal Communities
Posted by Jodi Gillette and Wendy Spencer on July 16, 2014 at 04:37 PM EDT
During his June visit to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Nation in Cannonball, North Dakota, the President re-emphasized the Administration’s focus on strengthening Native American communities through education and economic development. Thus, as part of the Obama administration’s commitment to create lasting change in Indian Country, we are pleased to announce $3 million in AmeriCorps grants to support Native American communities.
These funds will bolster President Obama’s priorities for tribal communities and increase the number of AmeriCorps members serving these communities by 41 percent. AmeriCorps members serving in these programs – most of whom will be recruited from Indian Country – will be eligible to earn $1 million in education scholarships to help pay for college or repay their student loans -- putting them on track for greater economic opportunity in the future.
Through these 17 tribal grants – the highest number approved in the past decade – the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) will support more than 250 AmeriCorps members serving with tribal organizations in 13 states. AmeriCorps members will serve side-by-side with tribal elders and local leaders.

Drought in California’s Palm Springs Area Draws Attention to Nestlé Plant on Morongo Reservation
Terri Hansen - 7/19/14
As California’s drought worsens, some residents living near the Morongo Band of Mission Indians in the Coachella Valley west of Palm Springs are directing their ire at the tribe for its leasing of land to a Nestlé plant.
The plant draws water from the tribe’s springs in Millard Canyon. As water woes increase in a desert region where all aquifers are declining, tensions are rising among some residents who live near the reservation. They question the Morongo Nation’s right to sell water to Nestlé Waters North America.

Drought Is No Excuse to Diss Tribal Government, 'Desert Sun'
Travis Armstrong
7/19/14
Southern California's Morongo people, like the other bands of the Cahuilla near Palm Springs, have had much of their ancestral land taken from them.
The Morongo people were left with land that at the time was remote and unwanted. Today, they are a model of tribal self-determination and are building better lives for generations to come through economic ventures on the little bit of land they have left.
The real story is that tribal people are being made into new bogeymen once again. Records show that the state and the various water agencies over the past decade have done little to cut usage, increase conservation and reduce waste in agricultural operations, which are a huge drain on the state’s water resources. Yet somehow the Morongo band, which is bottling water for people actually to drink, is being demonized.
