Who is the Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club

Established June 29, 1899, The Pocahontas Club began in Oowala, in the Cooweescoowee District of the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory. Its inception came with strong ideals of a small group of intelligent and cultured girls from the Female Seminary. They started out as a social club and soon blossomed as caretakers of their culture, heritage and communities. Today, the organization calls Claremore home and is the oldest chartered club in Oklahoma.

The Pocahontas Club arose to defend against cultural oblivion. One of their missions was, and remains to be, to keep the Cherokee culture and history alive.

The club proudly counts Oklahoma’s favorite son, Will Rogers, among its past members. In the early years, some men were allowed in the club. Rogers was a member before he became a celebrity. Club membership today is exclusively for Cherokee women who can trace their ancestry back to the Dawes Roll. Not merely a social club, the organization strives to make strong impacts in their communities, teaching and preserving Cherokee history.

In addition to active relationships within the community, the club provides annual scholarships, endowments, and support to Cherokee citizens.
