The Seminole Indian Scouts Cemetery Association

Picture
📍Brackettville, Texas
The Seminole Indian Scouts Cemetery Association (SISCA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the history, heritage, and legacy of the Seminole Indian Scouts and their descendants.

Our primary mission is to maintain the Seminole Indian Scouts Cemetery, the final resting place of our ancestors, including four Medal of Honor recipients. We are committed to honoring their bravery and sacrifices by raising public awareness and educating future generations.

In addition to cemetery preservation, we also work to restore and maintain the Historic Carver School Building and Grounds, a significant site that served the Scouts' descendants during segregation. Through this work, we ensure that their stories and contributions are not forgotten.

Throughout the year, we organize various activities and fundraisers to support our mission. We proudly host annual celebrations such as Juneteenth in June and Seminole Days, held on the third weekend of September, which bring together families, historians, and community members in honor of our rich cultural legacy.
Together, we strive to keep our legacy alive by honoring the past, educating the present, and inspiring the future.

“All I want, right now,
is each day for one more person to learn our history.
There is great power in one.
This is what I always want, that one more person should know our story.”


- Miss Charles Emily Wilson, as quoted in
Our Land Before We Die: The Proud Story of the Seminole Negro by Jeff Guinn (Tarcher/Putnam, 2002), p. 5.
