What Our Students Say

"My Indigenous name is T’la’li Palas — it means, "the one they come to for information." I have always wondered how I would live up to that name. Now I understand it is by gaining the knowledge to make a difference in my community." – Justice Black-Williams (Lummi)

"I wouldn’t have known which direction I wanted to go if NWIC didn’t give me the resources and opportunities to choose my own path."
