This spring the Tucker Foundation introduced the new Wind River Internship Program. This new leave-term community service internship is offered by the Dartmouth Partners in Community Service Program, Native American Studies Department, and the Native American Program. The goal of the program is to offer an opportunity for dialogue, shared learning, and collaborative community development between Native and non-Native Dartmouth students and an American Indian tribal community. The internships will be offered during the spring and fall terms.
Wind River is the third largest reservation in the United States.
It is home to the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapahoe Nations. Native Visions Sports Camp participant a mentoring and healthy lifestyles program developed by the Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian and Alaskan Native Youth, which operates on a number of reservations across the United States. This program also offers a number of opportunities for Dartmouth alumni to get involved. Funding for the Wind River Internship comes from the DPCS Program, the Class of 1977 and the Class of 1978, and the Wheelock Bookstore. Service and Leadership Training Plan continued from page 4 After a long night of reflection and a hearty pancake breakfast, the group put their thinking caps on once again Saturday morning to formulate a philosophy of service based on this discussion.
