“Pearl Carter Scott: On Top of the World”
The daughter of a successful businessman in Marlow, Oklahoma, Pearl Carter Scott was a dedicated and proud citizen of the Chickasaw Nation. She aspired, until her passing in 2005, to do “whatever is necessary to help my fellow Chickasaws.”
Scott was inducted into the Chickasaw Hall of Fame in 1995. She was also inducted into the Oklahoma Aviation and Space Hall of Fame and the International Women's Air and Space Museum Hall of Fame.
Chickasaw curriculum
The Chickasaw Heritage Series “Pearl Carter Scott: On Top of the World,” “First Encounter” and “Bearer of the Morning” documentaries have been incorporated into an online curriculum produced by the Chickasaw Nation for elementary and secondary school levels. These and other lessons are available to home-school and public school educators by visiting ChickasawFilms.com/Education.
These lessons might also interest anyone looking to dig deeper into the history and culture of the Chickasaw people, with reference materials and photographs presented much like a textbook.
Every lesson of the Chickasaw Nation curriculum is aligned with Oklahoma Academic Standards as outlined by the Oklahoma State Department of Education social studies guide.
Areas of study include history, social studies, geography and government. Students who dive into
these studies will develop skills including reading, writing, critical thinking, test taking and artistic creation.
Each lesson is complete with its own lesson plan, reading material, discussion questions, student activity and reference list for convenience. This material can be easily incorporated into any educational setting.
