Abstract

Let me identify my people and myself. In Florida, there are the Seminole Tribe, Incorporated and the Miccosukee Tribe, Incorporated. We have kept the tradition of the Independent Traditional Seminole Nation of Florida. We have not given up our land, our way of life, and our traditions. We have never signed a peace treaty, we never accepted a government handout, we did not accept anything. We try to maintain the gift of the Creator's way of life. We believe it gives us continuously the way of life. Nobody has to recognize us as to who we are as long as the Creator recognizes us.
