Children

A Home for Native American Children
The children who call Oaks Indian Mission home are members of tribal nations located in Oklahoma and surrounding states. Most are homeless or have parents or grandparents who simply cannot provide adequate food, clothing, a stable home, education, discipline or spiritual guidance. These loving and caring parents and grandparents make the right choice and ask the Mission for help for their children. Some of our children are orphaned, abandoned, neglected or abused with no secure environment and call the Oaks Indian Mission home.
The Mission cares for children ages 4 to 18, and up to 48 residents are at home at the Mission throughout the school year. Some children stay through the summer months.
The children represent a proud and noble heritage and bring with them gifts, talents, hope, prayers, and dreams for a bright and successful future. Thousands have called the Mission home throughout history. It will always be their home, and because of that we are a better place. Many return as adults bringing their children and grandchildren with stories to share.
