Findings from this descriptive psychological phenomenological study identify distinct patterns of identity expression in multiracial Native American students. Participants used selective invisibility to avoid monoracialism or feeling invisible to their institution and there were personal reservations about the authenticity of their Indigenous heritages due to the questioning of their self-identification. This study reveals implications for multiracial Native American students that can enable practitioners to increase recognition and support of this population on college campuses and in research.
