After a rich though troubled 35-year history, California's only tribal college - situated on 643 acres of federally entrusted land in Davis - struggles to survive.
(The "DQ" in the university's name stands for Deganawidah Quetzalcoatl - two iconic native leaders. Deganawidah, also known as "The Great Peacemaker," was one of the founders of the Iroquois confederacy. Quetzalcoatl was the legendary ruler of the Toltecs, a pre-Columbian people who dominated much of central Mexico between the 10th and 12th centuries. The name "DQ" is considered sacred, symbolizing the union of the Northern and Southern tribes, and is not uttered aloud except in ceremonies)
