Bonnie E. Assignment #4c IEFA

Indian Education for All is new to me, so I learned quite a bit and I see there's plenty more to learn about it.

One important note I made is that it's a program mandated and funded by the state of Montana. Another is that Natives are about 10% of the school-aged children in Montana, a higher number than I would have guessed.

To incorporate this curriculum in a math class, I would have students research the 7 reservations, collect some interesting data, and display the data with or without the use of technology. For example, they could draw a bar graph comparing the populations of the 7 reservations. In addition, they could find areas of the reservations and calculate the population densities.

For a music class, I would invite a Native guest to demonstrate the drumming and singing that's done at a Powwow. Then students could try it, practice (like always in music class), and perform at their own "powwow" in class.
