I enjoyed your website very much. I am organizing our thanksgiving celebrations at our preschool this year and we would very much like to give our children a broader view of the native people of the south.I am from Scotland and I find it disturbing that the only time the native culture in the USA is celebrated is at thanksgiving and even then the people are portrayed or 'lumped together' as one people.
I would be very interested in any easy educational books or even any drawings or photos of your people past and present which would be suitable for our little children who are aged 2 -5.
I am hoping to have each class be a different tribe and would also like to use any story books available throughout our school year. Hope you can help, Thank you,

Hi, I just went to a rodeo that the Seminole Tribe sponsored in Deland, Florida 9/28/02.Just wanted you to know that I thought it was an excellent bull riders rodeo.
It was very organized, the show and music was excellent. I was so proud to hear that the Indians sponsored it.
My dad (William Whidden) is from South Florida, my great-grandmother was full-blooded Cherokee. I've always been interested in the Indians.

I am a member of the Shoshone Bannock Tribes out of Fort Hall, Idaho. I participate in rodeos throughout the nation, with various associations, and would like a poster of your upcoming rodeo in February.My friends that live in Florida have invited me to come down and compete in the EIRA All-Indian Rodeo.
If you could please send me an e-mail of your Rodeo poster, or you should post it on your tribal website as a link. I and other guests would appreciate it.
Thank you sincerely,

I had the privilege to be invited to play in the Open Women's Division of the Randolph Clay Memorial Pool Tournament this weekend.My name is Ellen Van Buren and I am a Case Manager for a Crime Prevention Program in Miami. Pool is not only my hobby it is also my passion and I owe the Tribe and Betty Osceola a debt of gratitude for giving me a venue to compete against other women who like myself have full time careers and lives, but still have a desire to experience one of the freedoms that this great country affords us.
The freedom to be whoever or whatever we want to be. I had a great time and met some of the most open and friendly people in South Florida. And the food was great too!!
Looking forward to the next time the Tribe opens it's arms and it's tournament to women in South Florida like me.
Thank You,
Ellen Van Buren
