Tribal college gets $1M early childhood education grant

FORT TOTTEN, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota’s congressional delegation says a tribal college on the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation is getting federal money for early childhood education.

The delegation says the Cankdeska Cikana (sih-KAHN’-ah) Community College in Fort Totten has been awarded more than $1 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The money goes toward supporting Head Start programs that aim to provide affordable early childhood education.
