The state of Montana still hasn't fulfilled its constitutional promise to teach about Indian cultures, educators and officials said on Monday.

A 1999 law was designed to implement the consitutional provision. But Superintendent of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch said the Legislature hasn't appropriated funds.

Educators said Indian and non-Indian students need to learn about the state's tribes. The comments came at the final day of the Montana-Wyoming Indian Education Association conference in Great Falls.
