The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians is a Native American Tribe
from Florida. The tribe separated from the Seminole Tribe in the 1950s to
become independent; they were recognized by the state of Florida in 1957, and
gained federal recognition in 1962.
Today, the tribe occupies several reservations in southern
Florida, principally the Miccosukee Indian Reservation. In the 1920s and 1930s,
many Seminoles established communities along the recently constructed Tamiami
Trail, a roadway that ran through the Everglades and connected the cities of
Tampa and Miami. They spoke the Mikasuki
language, a close relative and dialect to the Seminole Hitchiti language.
If you would like to know a little bit more about The
Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, American Indian Day will be celebrated
September 29 from 10am to 8pm at the Miccosukee Indian Reservation, where they
will share their traditions, customs, and art with the purpose of providing
education, culture and fun to those who want to know more about this native habitat
of proud people.
