Biographical History
In response to an effort by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints to help its Native American members receive a college education, the
Institute of American Indian Studies and Research was instituted in 1960 as a
part of Brigham Young University’s General College. Later the change was made
in the name from Studies to Services. This early organization focused on both
providing courses of study on Native American culture and providing off-campus
workshops, training, and recruitment among Native American tribes. In 1972
American Indian Services became part of the Division of Continuing Education
and began working mainly with the off-campus programs. The main objectives of
the American Indian Services were to promote Native American self-help
programs, including programs that involved learning about agriculture and
horticulture, alcoholism, employment etc. Another objective was to provide
technical and financial assistance to the development of Native American
programs.
In 1971 Dr. Dale T. Tingey was appointed as director of American
Indian Services and remained as such until 1989. Upon Dr. Tingey’s retirement,
BYU began a reorganization effort of the American Indian Services. American
Indian Services became known officially as Native American Educational Outreach
Programs.
