Two Tribes of Florida: A Shared Environment
January 16-17, 2025
There are two federally recognized tribes in the state of Florida: The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida and the Seminole Tribe of Florida. With historic homelands that extend throughout the state and reservation lands in the southern part of the peninsula, these sovereign tribes have maintained their role as protectors of Florida's environment. This symposium will explore some of the issues that these modern tribes face in terms of how their history is presented, how their cultures are maintained, and how they have maintained an essential role in guiding the state into the future.
This event has been created in partnership with the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida and the Seminole Tribe of Florida. It begins with an evening reception on Thursday evening at the Florida Historic Capitol Museum and continues on Friday with a daylong event at FSU's Miller Hall. The symposium will end with a celebration of Erika Deitz's Osceola's Vision in the Student Union.
Registration is encouraged for the opening reception.
