The White Earth Tribal and Community College (WETCC) Council of Trustees (COT) is seeking interested members to serve as a trustee. Applications will be accepted for the following vacancies due to end of service terms:

  • Trustee that is an alumnus of the White Earth Tribal and Community College.
  • Trustee who is currently employed in the field of Indian Education


The WETCC Council of Trustees is comprised of nine (9) members, seven (7) voting members and two (2) non-voting members, at least five (5) of the members of whom will be enrolled members or lineal descendants of the White Earth reservation. Enrolled members of another federally recognized tribe and/or from the community at large possessing special skills and/or abilities that would benefit the College may hold the remaining positions.

Summary: The White Earth Tribal and Community College Council of Trustees serves as a body of official policy making representatives of and for the White Earth Tribal and Community College.

The Council of Trustees is responsible for policies and procedures required for effective governance, administration, implementation, and evaluation of programs, resources, faculty, staff, budget, services, and other operations of the White Earth Tribal and Community College.

The service term for a Trustee is a three-year commitment with regular monthly meetings. The position is strictly on a volunteer basis; however, meals and mileage are provided as appropriate. 

The process for replacement of end of service term Trustees positions is an open process which allows sitting Trustees to apply to renew their positions for an additional term.

Guest lecture and book signing with Dr. Wendy Makoons Geniusz

9/22/2014

In her recent book, Our Knowledge is Not Primitive: Decolonizing Botanical Anishinaabe Teachings (Syracuse University Press), Dr. Wendy Makoons Geniusz contrasts the ways in which Ojibwe knowledge has been collected and presented by non-Native researchers with how that knowledge is preserved within Ojibwe communities.  Her book contributes to recent discussions on how Indigenous communities and Indigenous researchers can use research as a way to decolonize their minds and their knowledge in order to conduct research that will be meaningful to us all.  She is the editor of two books about Ojibwe language and culture revitalization which will be published in June 2015 (University of Minnesota Press).

Dr. Wendy Makoons Geniusz Lecture and book signing
3:00-4:00 p.m.
