Another example is Evergreen s reservation-based, community-determined program, which provides students with an interdisciplinary liberal arts degree at five Native American reservation sites in western Washington.

Tribal representatives, tribal government officials and students provide direction and feedback to determine the curriculum content and learning objectives. This program also has required students to complete a community service project on their reservations. Projects have ranged from drug and alcohol intervention, to organizing community festivals, to writing and presenting tribal histories.
