 The Seminole lived in the areas now called Alabama and Georgia before European exploration and settlement disrupted their way of life. Migrating south to Florida, they adapted an entirely new way of life until President Jackson pushed through the Indian Removal Act, requiring that all eastern Indians be removed to west of the Mississippi. The Seminole resisted, resulting in the Seminole War, a bloody struggle that lasted 20 years. A treaty in 1856 provided the Seminole with a tract of land in Oklahoma. The Seminole have continued to work to overcome many hardships while still maintaining the essence of their culture heritage. Part of the multivolume Indians of North America Video Collection, each featuring the compelling history and culture of a particular Native American tribe. |
