Description

The history of the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes dates back to the 1500s; when most of Florida as well as much of the United States was uninhabited. During the early 19th century; the tribes moved into the South Florida interior; living on remote tree islands throughout the Everglades and Big Cypress Swamp. These self-reliant people kept mostly to themselves. Their struggles have included disease; poverty; relocation; and three wars with the U.S. Army. Nevertheless; these resilient tribes survived and have become a vital part of the countrys history and a unique and highly popular feature of South Florida tourism. Today; these tribes are busy creating economic opportunity for members; preserving their heritage and culture; and protecting their homeland. The powerful and engaging story of these remarkable people is brought to life in Images of America: Seminole and Miccosukee Tribes of Southern Florida. Captivating images from the Seminole / Miccosukee Photographic Archive highlight and preserve their story for future generations. Readers will appreciate this up-close and personal look at their way of life. The descendants of famed Native Americans such as Osceola; Jumper; Micanopy; and Sam Jones are seen in this distinct photo perspective working; resting; playing; and celebrating their customs.
