A member of the Chippewa Cree Tribe of Montana is helping the Havre Public School district develop a curriculum that will teach students about Indian history, culture and government.

Avis Chenoweth wants to make sure Indian studies are integrated into all parts of the curriculum, not treated as a separate unit. "All children will benefit from this, not just Native American children," she tells The Havre Daily News.
