Kaltura

Martha Varner attended the Pineview School and the Varner Indian School during the 1930s and early 1940s. She recalls as a child being called "Brass Ankle" by other children passing by on school buses. She is very grateful that South Carolina has finally made an effort to recognize Native Americans in this state.
