Postcard from Chief Dull Knife College

Yes, there really is a Chief Dull Knife College. As you can learn very quickly from this "postcard," meaning a text and visual snapshot of a unique institution:

Littlebear, 68, has a doctorate in education from Boston University and is fluent in Cheyenne; he teaches evening courses in it. He refers to tribal colleges as "underfunded miracles." With a meager $4.9 million budget provided mostly by the Federal Government, his school operates on a thin shoestring indeed. But Chief Dull Knife College perseveres, holding out hope for a new generation of Northern Cheyennes. More than half its graduates now go on to four-year schools.
