Children and Teachers

The Seminole Tribe of Florida Education Department, in partnership with Eckerd College, presents this Discover Native America School Study Guide. Each year, the Tribe receives thousands of letters and e-mails from students and teachers with questions about the Seminole Indians and requests for research aids and educational materials. Many of the existing materials available to students and teachers are either out of date or inaccurate in their portrayals of Seminole history and culture. Here, on this ever-growing site, we will compile the best educational information and materials available regarding the Seminole Indians of Florida, both from the available pool of study guides and educational aids already out there and those we will create in this special project.

Each year, in early spring, the Seminole tribe of Florida sponsors a powwow and American Indian festival -- Discover Native America -- on the campus of Eckerd College in St. Petersburg. For more information about the 2001 event, please call 1-800-535-2228.
