The Chickasaw Foundation is celebrating its 45th anniversary! This organization has given away hundreds of scholarships over the years in the Nation's commitment to education. Joe Thomas is one such individual who has benefitted from the foundation's generosity. The youngest of 12 children, he was the first in his family to graduate from college and now helps write the curriculum for Chickasaw students learning about the Nation’s history and culture. Joe says his Chickasaw mother is his biggest inspiration, and that his family as a whole has encouraged him in his educational journey. Now, Joe encourages his nieces and nephews to stay in school and appreciate the lasting value of an education.
