"When the American Indian Graduate Center Made a Difference for an Apache Girl at UNM: The 1970's"

 

By Veronica E. Velarde Tiller


A few months ago, walking down the hill toward the Pit, the University of New Mexico's (UNM) iconic basketball arena and site of graduation ceremonies, I saw two elderly Native American couples, scurrying like me, for a seat at the 2014 commencement ceremonies. We nodded to each other and our smiles were a silent acknowledgement of pride in witnessing our relatives' graduation from college. This brief encounter made me think about the monumental progress Native people have made in higher education, since I first attended the University of New Mexico back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when only a handful of Natives were students.

           

For me, the exciting and culturally-defining era of the 1960's was an incredibly propitious time to be in college. I started at UNM, in the summer of 1966, only a few weeks after graduating from Albuquerque's Valley High School.  My motive for early enrollment had nothing to do with lofty goals, but a desire to have a summer income. My tribe, the Jicarilla Apache, had one of the best tribal college scholarship programs for its members, at the time, providing funding for tuition to living expenses. In addition, I was allowed $40 per month, for miscellaneous expenses and that was my incentive -- to have some extra spending money in my pocket.
