The Tribal College Journal is a nonprofit media organization operating under the auspices of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC).
The quarterly magazine, website, and e-newsletters address American Indian and Alaska Native higher education.
It is a forum for tribal college administrators, faculty, staff, and students, providing discussion for their needs, successes, and evolving missions.
AIHEC tribal college presidents resolved on November 14, 1989 to support the magazine and gave it editorial independence as opposed to a typical in-house publication.
Marjane Ambler, previously editor of High Country News in Lander, Wyoming, held the position for eleven years.
