The archives of the Indian Womenâs Pocahontas Club contain the membership files of many of the Cherokee women who have at some time been a member of the club. The files all look pretty much the same until you open them. Hidden inside each folder is the unique histories of many of the hundreds of members of the club since the club was founded eight years before Oklahoma became a state.Â
More than 60 years after the Pocahontas Club made the commitment to document a great deal of the history of the Cherokee people, President John F. Kennedy wrote, âHistory, after all, is the memory of a nation . . . it is the means by which a nation establishes its sense of identity and purpose.â
The Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club will offer 10 scholarships to graduating seniors for the 2021-22 school year.
The club will sponsor 10 Cherokee students entering college with a $600-per-academic-year scholarship or endowment.
Applications must be received by June 30. For more information regarding eligibility requirements, contact Jennifer at jennerskinner@gmail.com or go to www.indianwpc.org.
