All Indians are rich. All Indians are drunks. Indians don't like White people.

Caroline Hicks, director of the Pelathe Community Resource Center in Lawrence, Kansas, runs into these perceptions everyday. She says one of her goals is to try to educate non-Natives that these stereotypes aren't true.

With Haskell Indian Nations University in their backyard, Hicks, a member of the Crow Tribe, wants more local residents to connect with the school. She says Haskell students should be able to feel comfortable in Lawrence.
