Digital Archives features hundreds of contemporary video clips addressing a wide spectrum of topics from tribal perspectives.

The content in this section is organized according to the Essential Understandings regarding Montana Indians – educational standards developed for teachers, but also intended to be user-friendly for all interested citizens.

The "Big Picture" section provides an historical perspective on Indian Education for All and the "In Action" section showcases examples of IEFA implementation.

There are several files in the “PDF files for reference” drop-down menu on this page, which you may wish to print out and have available as you go through the digital archives.
