Havre Public Schools moving ahead with Indian education plan
MATR Sponsor (view all)
Havre Public Schools should be considered the prodigal son when it comes to Indian education. The 1972 Montana Constitution and the 1999 Indian Education for All Act both mandate that Montana educational goals include preservation of Indian culture. The laws have been on the books and gathering dust to little effect.
But as Havre works this school year to develop a plan that would put it in compliance with the law – including establishing the new Indian Education Advisory Council and reviewing social studies curriculum to include better information about Montana’s 12 Native American tribes – many consider Havre a leader.
