Who are the people you serve with your mission?
Bacone College has served American Indians from all across North American since 1880. The College is chartered by five American Indian tribes: The United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, Osage Nation, Kiowa Tribe, Otoe-Missouria Tribe, and Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes. The current student body is more than 80 percent minority and more than 60 percent Native American, representing more than 29 tribes and 16 states. The College cultural and spiritual mission is to allow these students to explore their tribal heritage, culture, history, and language, and help to preserve and pass these important legacies on to the next generation into perpetuity for all tribes.
