The Mahila Bone & Alton Evans Memorial Fellowships
Providing Fellowships for two Southeastern Creek students or others interested in Creek Indian history and culture to participate in programs such as The Fernbank Museum’s Public Archaeology Program during the month of June, 2008.
“The Search for Santa Isabel de Utinahica” Along the historic and beautiful Ocmulgee River
PBT Member, Architect and Artisan, Richard L. Thornton donated 5 of his fine reproductions of Southeastern style pottery for an auction to raise funds for this project. Perdido Bay Tribe shares his dream to encourage and inspire Southeastern Creek heritage college students or young adults to become actively interested in their heritage and/or to pursue careers in the fields of Archaeology, Anthropology and Historical Preservation.
The Two Fellowships serve to honor Significant Elders who have already inspired others to pass along knowledge to future generations
Mahila Bone Fellowship
Honors Richard Thornton’s Grandmother, Mahila Bone, who endured hardships and prejudice from a state government and local community that denied her rights of citizenship because she was Indian. Alton Evans Fellowship Honors Micco Bobby Johns Bearheart’s Uncle Alton Evans, who rose above the official ‘non-existence’ of Indian people in Georgia, and mentored his young charge in the ways of his Creek ancestors, teaching him that the most important lesson he would ever learn was how to live like a real human being. |
