OUR PEOPLE
Evelyn Akins

As a child, Evelyn helped her family and neighbors pick cotton in the fields behind their house. As an adult, she’s been planting her own seeds in the community and watching them grow. Having started the community’s first ever all-Indian Girl Scout troop, she has watched troop members blossom into leaders. Every small act of kindness and consideration has the power to grow into a world of achievement.
