The purpose of this quantitative multi-institutional study was to examine the contributions of institutional integration and cultural integrity to Native college students' sense of belonging within Non-Native Colleges and Universities. Both cultural integrity and institutional integration contributed significantly to sense of belonging. This study revealed that social support and peer-group interaction are the most significant factors contributing to sense of belonging for Native college students. In addition, staff support and lack of social isolation were also significant contributors to sense of belonging.
