Denise Juneau, director of American Indian Education in Montana, says that prior to the mandate of IEFA, Montana students learned virtually nothing about American Indian culture.

7. Under the American legal system, Indian tribes have sovereign powers, separate and independent from the federal state governments. However, the extent and breadth of tribal sovereignty is not the same for each tribe. There is great diversity among the 12 tribal Nations of Montana (eight are federally recognized) in their languages, cultures, histories, and governments. Each nation has a distinct and unique cultural heritage that contributes to
modern Montana.
