In this article, the authors describe the extraordinary perseverance, and a series of legislative efforts of Indian education advocates in implementing a bill known as Indian Education for All (IEFA). The bill established three primary objectives with regard to Indian education in the state: (1) Every Montanan, whether Indian or non-Indian, is to be encouraged to learn about the distinct and unique heritage of American Indians in a culturally responsive manner; (2) All school personnel should have an understanding and awareness of Indian tribes to help them relate effectively to Indian students and parents; and (3) The education system should work cooperatively with Montana tribes when providing instruction and implementing any educational goals. After 34 years, the goals of IEFA are becoming a reality in the state's classrooms. The Montana Indians are optimistic that their great-grandchildren will finally study their own culture and heritage in school and that students from other backgrounds will recognize the dignity of American Indians and their importance in the life of Montana.
