Thomas Spain's Company Details
United Tribes Technical College (UTTC) was founded in 1969 by an intertribal organization, the United Tribes of North Dakota Development Corporation. It is a nonprofit corporation incorporated in the State of North Dakota and operated by the five tribes wholly or in part in North Dakota. These tribes are the Three Affiliated Tribes, the Spirit Lake Tribe, the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians. The College is governed by a ten-member board of directors made up of the chairperson and one delegate selected from each of the tribes. UTTC was the second tribal college in the nation, following closely behind what is now Dine College, and one of the founding institutions of the American Indian Higher Education consortium of tribal colleges. The institution has been continuously accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (formerly NCA) since 1987 with the next comprehensive visit in 2021.
