post-
secondary
institute
which
would
deliver
culturally

programs
for

DOTC
communities.
The
college
was
established
based
on
the
philosophy
of
"Indian
control
of
Indian
education".
To
this
day,
25
years
later,
Yellowquill
College
continues
to
operate
and
deliver
various
programs
of
cultural
relevance.

small

other
educational
institutes;
however
has
managed
to
maintain
a
steady
student
population
which
has
included
students
from
across
the
country.
The
delivery
of
programs
began
on
October 1, 1984 in the former Portage Residential School building.

has
since
moved
to
its
current
location
at

well
