We’re proud to share that three Quapaw Elders have been selected as 2026 AARP Elder Honorees.

Today, we’re honored to feature the second of those stories - Cherita Graber. Her connection to Quapaw culture is strong and extends from her mother, Charlene Button - who at 97 is a treasure of Quapaw history.

Take a moment to watch and celebrate her story. Make sure to turn your phone sideways!

Stay tuned… next week, we’ll reveal the final Elder Honoree.
