Its primary goal is to serve the educational and training needs of the Pacific Northwest tribes and their people. Its main branch is on the Lummi Reservation near Bellingham, Washington with sites and learning centers situated throughout the service area.

The educational philosophy of Northwest Indian College is based upon the acknowledgment that tribal values and beliefs are the foundation of education and must include a study of Native American culture, language and history within the tribal community.
