  • Origins is about Native Traditional games. 200 years ago, American Indian families, bands, clans, and tribes coached and guided the youth in important skills needed survival.  Thousands of old Indian games of intuition & chance created situations to learn body language, observation of the environment, and ways to connect with spirit and power. When Indian children were removed from their homes and sent to mission or boarding schools, they came back to their tribes without the culture knowledge but also without the natural skills for successfully protecting and providing for their families

  

  • Montana Office of Public Instruction Denise Juneau, Director of Indian Education. The Office of Public Instruction thanks you the teachers, administrators, school boards, parents, and students, for working diligently on Indian Education issues.  It is time to come together with a common vision.  It is time to put our minds together and see what difference we can make for all of Montana’s students.
