The Story Behind Our Logo
Tribal colleges and universities were established by Tribal Nations to provide a solid foundation in education for Native people and to reverse the impacts of centuries of discrimination and forced cultural assimilation.
To represent the American Indian College Fund’s mission to provide tribal college students with access to a tribal college higher education, it created a logo incorporating both a flame and a feather.
The flame represents how education illuminates both individuals and communities through intellectual and economic growth. The feather nestled within the flame represents how tribal colleges work to revitalize Native language and culture by integrating them into their curricula, while immersing students in their Native languages, cultures, and traditions.
