Eula “Pearl” Carter Scott, the first Native American Pilot

Eula Pearl Carter Scott was more than just an aviator; she was a mother, a health representative, and a legislator. She dedicated her second career to improving the lives of the Chickasaw Nation. But the aviation community never forgot her contributions and achievements. She was an inductee of the Oklahoma Aviation and Space Hall of Fame and the International Women’s Air and Space Museum Hall of Fame, as well as a charter member of the National Museum of the American Indian. She was also inducted into the Chickasaw Nation Hall of Fame in 1995 for her public service for the nation.
