The Seminole Indian Scouts Cemetery Association
The Seminole Indian Scouts Cemetery Association is a non-profit organization located in Brackettville, Texas. The main goal of the organization is to maintain the Seminole Indian Scouts Cemetery, where our ancestors are buried, and to raise awareness about the Four Medal of Honor Recipients who have been laid to rest there. We also continue to restore and preserve the Historic Carver School Building and Grounds. This building was used by the Seminole Negro Indian Scouts descendants during segregation. We strive to keep our legacy alive. Monthly meetings are held on the 2nd Saturday of each month. Planned activities and fundraisers are held throughout the year. We celebrate Juneteenth on the third weekend of June, and we celebrate Seminole Days on the third weekend of September.
"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."
