This school, also referred to as Lower Montegut School, was constructed for use by Native American students during a time of racial segregation. The building is owned by the United Houma Nation and has been used by many of their family members since construction. A 1964 U.S. District Court order approved a plan to desegregate the white and Indian schools in Terrebonne Parish. After serving as classrooms, it was used as a tribal and community center, where the United Houma Nation held holiday celebrations and meetings and used the building as a distribution center following natural disasters. A fire in 2009 caused damage to the building, which has not been used since. Repairs and roof replacement are needed soon, if the buildings are to be saved.
