INDN's List is proud to announce the creation of a new program to honor a very special friend, the Maggie Gover Fellowship.

Maggie dedicated her life and her career to social activism and was a champion of many causes which benefited from her strong will, passion, and determined advocacy.

The Maggie Gover Fellowship will honor the memory of one of our country's greatest servants, Maggie Gover, by sponsoring stipends for interns at INDN's List. Maggie, who passed away on November 1, 2005, served as a social activist supporting Native American, civil rights, and social justice causes. During her career, Maggie worked with the Americans for Indian Opportunity, the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System, and the National Tribal Environmental Council.

Her idealism and humanitarianism led to many accomplishments. She participated in the elimination of de jure racial segregation in Lawton, Oklahoma; in the elimination of the University of Oklahoma's Indian mascot; and in the creation of the Indian Self-Determination policy during the Administration of President Nixon.

The Maggie Gover Fellowship gives us an opportunity to carry on her profound influence. We are honored to offer the opportunity to honor Maggie's memory by instilling in future generations the commitment to public service and civil rights that filled her soul. It is our hope that the Maggie Gover Fellows will share Maggie's commitment to peace, freedom, social justice, personal self-determination, and to changing the faces and color of power in American politics.

Maggie's faithful and generous spirit is unparalleled and personal "Maggie stories" are often used in Kalyn's fundraising trainings with our INDN candidates. Maggie's friends can continue her legacy by contributing to the Maggie Gover Fellowship .

Individuals interested in applying to be a Maggie Gover Fellow should complete an online application by clicking this link  http://indnslist.org/maggiegover or call 918.583.6100.

Maggie Gover Fellows may work at the INDN's List national office or an INDN Campaign.  Maggie Gover Fellows will receive housing assistance and a stipend throughout the duration of their Fellowship, which will typically be for a college term or a summer.
