This qualitative study examined the views of Native American students regarding their collegiate experiences. Native Americans who were enrolled members of their tribe and who had engaged in some level of collegiate study were included in this research study. Participants reported membership to Cherokee, Kiowa, Pawnee, and Ponca tribes. Participants were interviewed in two separate groups using a three-interview series to elicit comments about their collegiate experiences. After conducting interviews with participants, data was analyzed for themes reflecting their various experiences. The study identified six themes (Prejudice, Surveillance, Acculturation Stress, Ontological Death, Survivance, and Proximity) related to the participants’ experiences.
