OUR STORY

Our story proudly begins with Moravian missionaries who traveled with the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears to present-day Tahlequah. Since 1926, Oaks Indian Mission has operated as a safe place for Indian children to learn, to grow and to thrive.

HEAR FROM OUR KIDS

"Where I come from, we never had enough money to go to basketball or hockey games, swimming, or movies. Here, we get to experience all of these things, and it is really cool!"

- Oaks Resident

"Receiving these [leadership] awards and always being reminded by the Oaks Mission that I'm supported has given me a lot of self-confidence that I didn't have before.
I wouldn't be who I am without the friends I've made and the staff and cottage-parents constantly building me up and making me a better person. I wouldn't call myself a leader; I would call myself a positive outcome of the love, care and support that I've gotten from the Oaks Indian Mission."

- Jordan, Oaks Resident

"I know that if the Mission weren't here, I would probably be out on the street. So I am thankful. I have a better attitude, I am getting better grades, and I am not getting into trouble." - Oaks Resident
