Honoring Those Who Leave
A Legacy Of Care And Compassion
For Indian Children
At The Oaks Indian Mission
There is a saying, originating with the Iroquois Nation, that every decision or action made now must consider the effect upon the seventh generation that will follow.
This is good and wise advice and led to the selection of The Seventh Generation Society as the name for the new Planned Giving organization established at The Oaks Indian Mission.
It is a fitting name, for The Seventh Generation Society honors and recognizes those who have included needy Indian Children at The Oaks Indian Mission in their estate plan. Such an act today will definitely have an effect upon future generations. It assures Oaks will have the means to meet the needs of Indian peoples through the 21st Century and beyond.
