Abstract
This chapter examines the challenges Native American students encounter in higher education, including online higher education, and the motivations of Native American students. Recommendations for online higher education institutions to support Native American students are offered. Tribal critical race theory is used as the conceptual framework, while oral histories are used to understand the experiences of Native American doctoral students attending online higher education institutions. Although Native American students encounter numerous challenges in online higher education institutions, Native American students have motivations influencing their persistence and sense of belonging that online higher education institutions can foster.
