The college serves primarily the Aaniiih (Gros Ventre) and Nakoda (Assiniboine) tribes from its main campus in Harlem, Montana. Established in 1984, the institution provides two-year associate degrees and certificate programs with an emphasis on Native American studies, allied health, computer information systems, and environmental science.
