Jeannie Greene http://www.jeaniegreene.net/jeanie-greene.html, documentary producer (Heartbeat Alaska) raised an interesting topic— that there were only 45 Natives who hold Ph.D.s in the US.
That seems awfully low. Can you help add more names? Below are folks I have found, using AISES and SACNAS. Amazingly, I’m lucky enough to know many of the names and people, some personally.

I would check the following sources for more research: National Congress of American Indians http://ncai.org , and the National Indian Education Assoication http://niea.org and the American Indian Graduate Center at http://aigc.com. I wonder – even if your research ends up showing double the number of PhD’s initially quoted – say for instance 100? How that percentage would compare to the per capita occurence of PhD’s overall in the United States?
One sources says: “…under one percent of (the) population (in the United States) (0.96)… including people with professional degrees who are normally referred to with Dr title like physicians, dentists, etc (MD, DDS, etc) 5,373,866 (2.95%) of (the) US population over (age) 25 carry doctor title. link: http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/QTTable?_bm=y&-geo_id=01000US&-qr_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U_QTP20&-ds_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U&-redoLog=false”
If looking at the same US Census (2000) data that shows AI/AN population at between 1.4 Million and 2.1 Million (dependant on whether you identify the populations that are listed as one race or more than one race) – then even 100 PhD’s would give a percentage rate of between 7/1000ths of 1 percent (0.007%) to 4/1000ths of 1 percent (0.004%) of the occurence of PhDs in the AI/AN population.
That means that in mainstream society in the US you can expect that approximately 1 to 3 people in 100 of the people you meet on average will have a PhD or doctoral level of education, in Indian Country you can expect that between 4 to 7 people in every 10,000 American Indian/Alaska Native people that you meet will have that same level of education.
Interesting topic…

Thank you for the additional information. One can always argue the value of PhDs and how many are needed. But, certainly there are too few for what is needed these past 50 years.
It would be interesting for someone to examine how the role of higher education (even tertiary but especially post-baccalaureate) has changed with several peaks. Judging only from my experience, I think in the past 15 years there has been a major increase in graduate training. There was one in the 70s for the Pueblos, at least. There was a similar cohort in Alaska around the land claims settlement. Partly, I wonder how much the bias against education and the bias against Native identity has shifted over time, in addition to the general circumstances of access to any education which affects all ethnic groups. I’m sure there was a spike after WWII and the GI bill.
I can just imagine the courage of folks such as the late Dr Ed Dozier and Ed Ladd who went to get higher education in regions very different from remote New Mexico and to become major contributors to everyone’s knowledge.
I would am also curious about the fields which have been chosen. The Alaska Native list (Indian, Eskimo, Aleut) has a lot of anthropologists or anthropologically trained fields (rural development). As does the earlier generation of scholars from the Pueblos.

At a glance, approx. 128… Doubling the original estimation. Thanks for posting results as you move forward. wondering whether the recommendations are useful and complementary to original sources of identification, iecontacting Schools with PhD programs, ai/an academic funders, ai/an academic groups, and Tribes). Importantly, what criteria is used for ai/an affiliation..since some did not identify their tribe. good luck movie forward.

This is strictly a fun list because the original question asked on Facebook got stuck in my head. Some of the listings that have been added include different info along with the name, thus the variation.The Survey of Earned Doctorates does have standards and I think they query universities. They won’t reveal names but I’m hoping to find out numbers. I would like to know the fields with chronology– there have been a lot of anthropology types but that has changed. Geography of upbringing would be interesting, too.

I’d love to see a list of both Alaskan Native and American Indian PhDs. It would have been nice to know I wasn’t the first native in sciences when I was going through grad school, and even nicer if I could have contacted another Inupiaq to learn how they handled home sickness, responsibility to tribe, and other issues while they were in grad school.
