The Cherokee Nation honored Margie Lowe, shown in the photo with Cherokee Nation Chief Chad Smith, in March 2003 with the presentation of the Gadugi Award for Leadership. Not only are her leadership and genealogy credentials impeccable, but Margie is a dynamic and entertaining speaker.

Margie Lowe is a registered citizen of the Cherokee Nation, born and raised on her father's Cherokee allotment in Washington County, OK. She is a retired teacher and has researched Indian genealogy for thirty years. Margie is an alumnus of the Intermediate Genealogy Course, Brigham Young University; the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research, Samford University; and the National Institute on Genealogical Research, Washington, DC.

She has served on the boards and is a current member of the Cherokee National Historical Society, the Oklahoma Chapter of the National Trail of Tears Association and the Cherokee Cultural Society of Houston.  Margie also belongs to the Association of Professional Genealogists, Friends of Clayton Library, and the Houston Genealogical Forum, and leads the Native American Researchers group.

Lineage memberships include DAR, DAC, Colonial Dames, 17th Century, and through her Cherokee ancestry, Daughters of 1812 and Daughters of the Republic of Texas.

She enjoys assisting eligible individuals in researching and applying for their tribal memberships and encourages them to become politically active with their respective Indian Nations.
