Turtle Mountain College

Please help TMC recognize the outstanding teamwork that went into this year's preparation for the St. John Parade. The TMC Student Services staff did an amazing job representing Turtle Mountain College. This year's float, built around the theme Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Heroes in a Half Shell and featuring our TMC Mighty Mikinocks mascot, showcased creativity, school spirit, and pride in our college and community. Their hard work and dedication resulted in a First Place finish, an honor we are proud to receive.

On behalf of Turtle Mountain College, I want to thank everyone who contributed to make this year's float a success.

Miigwech Jackie, Chad, Kara, Corrilyn, Ronnie, Amber, Angela, Bergendi, Kyle, Jeremy, and kids!

💞A home is where life happens...

🦋It's where memories are made, traditions are passed down, and laughter fills the rooms long after the day is done.

🥰It's where families gather for holidays, children grow, friends celebrate, and love finds a place to call its own.

📍For students in Turtle Mountain College's BCT program, building a home is about more than learning a trade. It's about creating spaces where future stories will unfold- where milestones will be celebrated, dreams will be nurtured, and generations will come together.

🔨Every skill learned, every board measured, and every wall raised represents an investment in both education and community. Through hands-on experience, students gain valuable career skills while helping make the dream of homeownership possible for others.

🏠 A home is the setting where your life's story takes place.

💰When you invest in homeownership, you're investing in stability, opportunity, and a future built on a strong foundation.

❔What are you waiting for?

"It was truly an honor and a pleasure for Turtle Mountain College to host our fellow tribal colleges and universities for the monthly North Dakota Tribal College System (NDTCS) meeting.

Bringing together leaders from across Indian Country strengthens the bonds that unite us and reinforces our shared commitment to Indigenous education.

We were proud to welcome everyone to our campus and grateful for the opportunity to learn from one another, celebrate our accomplishments, and continue building a stronger future for our tribal communities together."

Way to go!

Meet Bentlee Falcon, our May Undergraduate Student of the Month! 👏

A member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians of North Dakota from Belcourt, North Dakota, Bentlee is pursuing degrees in Land Management, Biology, and Natural Resources at Turtle Mountain Community College, where he maintains a 3.81 GPA and has earned Dean’s List honors.

Bentlee’s journey is rooted in leadership, service, and environmental stewardship. As he shares, “I continue to be challenged, I overcome them throughout my daily life. I show generations how important our environment is to keep going.”

A dedicated advocate for his community, Bentlee has volunteered through Tribal Youth Summer Programs, contributed to community initiatives focused on public health, housing, and cultural preservation, and currently serves as Vice President of Student Council. He is also the first student in his region selected for the Bureau of Indian Affairs Pathways Program, where he works and learns in land and natural resource management.

Bentlee’s commitment to creating positive change extends beyond the classroom. From helping secure funding for his college’s first archery program to advocating for environmental protection and community improvement, he continues to use his voice to uplift others and strengthen his Nation. Congratulations on your accomplishments, Bentlee!
