Only 1.2 percent of the student body at Colorado State University is Native American

The low numbers can contribute to isolation, Native students say. Some even say they have felt discriminated against at the school.

"I think many Native Americans at CSU and in Fort Collins experience a sense of alienation," Irene Vernon, who is Native and is the director at the Center for Applied Studies in American Ethnicity, told The Rocky Mountain Collegian. "All in all, many feel very lonely."

Natives say other students should learn more about Native cultures.
