PEACHTREE CITY, USA – November is Native American History Month, where we explore the heritage, culture, experience, and contributions of America’s Indigenous peoples. Aventure would like to take this opportunity to highlight Eula Carter Scott.
Born December 9, 1915, Eula “Pearl” Carter Scott was an American stunt pilot and political activist. In 1929, she became the youngest pilot in the United States when she took her first solo flight at the age of 13.
In 1972, Scott began her work for the Chickasaw Nation. She was elected to the Chickasaw legislature in 1983, where she served three terms.
Scott was a member of the International Women’s Air & Space Museum, and the Oklahoma Aviation and Space Hall of Fame. She was a charter member of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and was inducted into the Chickasaw Nation Hall of Fame in 1995.
She passed away on March 28, 2005 in Oklahoma City.
