Abstract	Traveling outside one's comfort zone can plant the seeds for a collaborative, positive exchange of ideas, information, and perspectives. And that's just what happened when two groups of tribal college students, representing many nations, embraced traveling far from their families and communities. These two groups of students and faculty--one from the College of Menominee Nation and one from Sitting Bull College (Fort Yates, North Dakota) recently traveled to Chiapas, Mexico, and New York City, respectively. Each group had a clear purpose when they embarked, and participants returned home with sharpened sensibilities on how they and their communities fit into the larger world. In this article, the students tell about the experience and how it changed their lives. (ERIC).
