 Celebrate American Indian Heritage Day!
Montana and the OPI IEFA Unit will celebrate American Indian Heritage Day on both September 23rd and 30th this year. We will be posting information, resources, tips, and ideas for celebrating Montana's first peoples with your students. Additionally, we will be doing a live event. You can check the IEFA webpage for more information soon.

IEFA Grants Available For 2022-23 School Year
The Indian Education for All Unit will be offering grant awards to districts that would like to compensate their staff for completing IEFA PD modules or facilitate an exchange program between Native and Non-Native schools and students. The PD modules would be specific to the Essential Understandings Regarding Montana Indians or the IEFA Implementation Framework hub course. Grant awards would be determined based upon the size of the school district and the estimated number of staff participating. Districts would also be required to provide some IEFA ANB funds for match. Interested schools and districts should contact Jennifer Stadum or Zach Hawkins in the OPI IEFA office.
Jennifer Stadum: jstadum@mt.gov or 444-0725
Zach Hawkins: zachariah.hawkins@ mt.gov or 444-0708
