Haskell Stadium Memorial Arch

Haskell Stadium honored the 415 Haskell Warriors who served in World War I and remembered those who died for their country. The stadium was made possible by gifts from over one thousand Indians representing more than fifty tribes, and every cent used to erect it came from Indians. It was regarded as the largest and most unique Indian project ever attempted and as a monument built by older Indians for younger Indians yet to be educated at Haskell Institute. The stadium was dedicated on October 30, 1926, and rededicated on October 13, 2001, as its 75th anniversary was observed. The entrance arch was made possible by gifts from Alice Beaver and Agnes Track, two former students of the school and members of the Quapaw Tribe, and its restoration was made possible by a donation from the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation.
