Institution

Tohono O’odham Community College - "Tohono Oʼodham Community College (TOCC) is a public tribal land-grant community collegein Sells, Arizona. TOCC's student body is 88 percent American Indian/Alaskan Native. Tohono Oʼodham Community College serves approximately 216 students (61 percent female; 39 percent male). The college's faculty and staff is 57 percent American Indian, half of whom are Oʼodham. Although it is a public institution open to students of all backgrounds, the school maintains a deep connection to the Tohono Oʼodham culture. As a tribal college, TOCC places a special emphasis on not only serving the educational needs of its local residents, particularly the Tohono Oʼodham Nation, but also preserving and transmitting the Oʼodham Himdag (cultural way of life). As part of their curriculum, all students are exposed to the Himdag, which encompasses a wide array of traditional beliefs and practices of this native group. ” Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tohono_Oʼodham_Community_College

The founding members of the Board of Trustees developed the general idea for the seal; Tony Johnson, a local artist, drew it. It is clear that the seal is supposed to represent harmony between man and woman; specifically through the expression of the tribal round dance. The 12 feathers represent the 11 districts of the Nation + the districtless O'odham (including the Hia-Ced). The sacred Baboquivari Peak is shown. A traditional Indian man and woman beside two saguaros for sustenance, a gourd instrument, and an olla are depicted. Technology as learning's future and students are also depicted in the inner circle. 1998 is the foundation date. East, West, North, and South are of course considered sacred directions.
