We endeavor to recognize academic achievement and encourage an atmosphere in which students can become fit socially, mentally, physically, and spiritually. We also promote positive and constructive values so that others will foster personal commitments to education and high self-esteem. Members prefer not to think of themselves as a group of smart students, but rather as individuals who are doing something positive and worthwhile with their lives. They delight in sharing their gifts and talents and in helping others. Membership is open to any student in fourth grade to graduate school who has earned a 4.0 semester anytime during his or her academic career.
Students receive a certificate and an eagle pin.
Members are also required to perform community service. Special membership is available to non- Indians. The students' success is a tribute to Indian people. It is an example of what people can do if they believe in themselves, set high goals, work hard, and have an unfaltering faith in The Great Spirit.
