American Indians
Sharon Greenlee, Chairman
As the State Chairman of
the American Indian Committee I would like to
thank the Iowa DAR chapters for your support
of this committee this past year. The numbers
were higher this year for the number of
American Indians Programs given. Monetary
collections, Indian Minute or an American
Indian Program for Indian Projects were
reported.
For the coming year, the National American
Indian Committee website includes some
fascinating American
Indian programs you can present as a
program or use as American Indian minutes. It
also will give you information on the Schools,
Scholarships, Needs Lists, Grants, Camp and
Pin information.
There are different areas you can make a
financial donation to:
- Directly to the schools (Bacone or
Chemawa)
- Indian Youth or American Summer Camp. Send
donations to: Indian Youth of American, PO
Box 2786, Sioux City IA 51106
- Contribute to the Friends of American
Indian Scholarship Fund, American Indian
Fund, or the summer camp thru the DAR Office
of Development or by calling (800) 449-1776.
The success of the American Indian
Committee depends on each of us in our
chapters--together we can do so much for the
Native American youth.
My wish for this year as
chairman is that more chapters will report
that they recognized our two American Indian
Schools with a program, an Indian Minute or a
donation.
I am looking forward to greeting you at
ISDAR State Conference.
