History
The Tribal University System was created in 1995, although tribe-specific colleges and universities have existed since the 1920s. Many of the first colleges were funded or established by religious organizations such as the Catholic Church of Slokais or the Minjian High Temple of San Fernando. The rationale for the creation of these institutions was to help create a class of religious highly educated tribal people. In the 1970s a wave of Tribal institutions began to be founded by provinces and tribal authorities themselves to help preserve the language and traditional knowledge of tribal groups. The largest of these was Shanjiang Valley Provincial College, founded in 1976 to serve members of the Irayan tribal group. By 1995, 8 colleges came together to form the TUS, eventually becoming a public body in 2005.
