    DEWEY, OK, November 18, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marquis Who's Who, the world's premier publisher of biographical profiles, is proud to present Joy Gover White (Native American name: Hupirit Taka) with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award. An accomplished listee, Ms. White celebrates many years' experience in her professional network, and has been noted for achievements, leadership qualities, and the credentials and successes she has accrued in her field. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

With more than four decades of experience to her credit, Ms. White has excelled as an American Indian bead worker at the Silver Quail in Dewey, since 1972. While in junior high school, she learned to bead from two older Cheyenne ladies who often wore beautiful examples of the craft. Upon graduating from Weatherford High School in 1959, Ms. White was taught how to make moccasins, the process of flat work and the peyote stitch.

In the past, Ms. White worked with Jane Phillips Medical Center in Bartlesville from 1986 to 2003. She began her career as an admitting clerk for the institution, where she would act as an advocate for patients as well as upfront personnel. Eventually desiring a less social position, Ms. White began working as the insurance filing clerk at the center and she remained with the organization for more than 20 years until her retirement in 2003.

Throughout her career, Ms. White experienced a number of moments which instilled her with a deep sense of pride. She was proud to have been honored as an elder at the Oklahoma Indian Summer Festival during 2001. Additionally, she was gratified to have been one of 50 individuals selected to display her art and wares at a function in Washington D.C. Other achievements to her credit include setting up local demonstrations for 700 students regarding Native American culture. To remain aware of changes in the field, she maintains her affiliation with the American Women in Arts, the Bartlesville Indian Women's Club, for which she served as the president for two years. Outside of her vocation, Ms. White enjoys canning, cooking, sewing, gardening, and creating art in her spare time.
