Editor:
I’ve got a couple of questions concerning Bingo. Some friends and
I are driving from Jacksonville Saturday to play Bingo and we had some
questions.
Do you need to be 21? What kind of I.D. do we need to bring? Approximately
how much does each game cost? What time do we need to be there Saturday
morning to participate? What time do the poker games start?
Thank you!

If you need any additional information contact myself or our Guest Services
department. We look forward to your visit to Seminole Casino and may it
be a rewarding one.
Editor,
What is the pot limit on poker at the Orient Road Casino? Is this due
to change soon in accordance with new Florida law, which raised the limit?
What hours are poker games open?
I would call you, but cannot speak. Please respond by e-mail.
Thanks.

Lee,
Our poker room is open 24 hours, seven days per week. We currently offer
games with a $10 pot limit but we also offer mini-tournament play which
is unique to the Seminole Casino.
It maintains the $10 pot limit but allows players to compete for a string
of hands in a tournament-like setting. The Florida law you mention has
passed the congress but not yet been sign by the governor. If it passes
into law with or without his signature, we will offer games at the highest
allowable stakes.
We look forward to seeing you soon. We have just opened a brand new state
of the art facility. Please come give us a try!
Hersci momet estonko,
I really don’t know where to look for a/the most prominent woman in our ancestral history, so please forgive the shot in the dark. A woman is compiling a book of prominent women in Indian Country and asked me if one could find one from our nation. She only has a week or so before closing the list.
If you could tell me or direct me to a qualified source, I’d be much obliged. It can be extraordinary in any field, past or present. It could be of just one accomplishment. I realize British male dominance pretty much precluded recognizing women of any significance in their Anglocentric documentation, but there must be a good few out there. (Please forgive my ignorance.)
As big as we were and are, there must be a passel of them. Compared to the Lakota and Tsalagi, we get very little press and deserve more overall recognition. Joy Harjo is one to be proud of, but there must also be many, many, more.
Could you pass it on to one in the know? Perhaps our library?
Mvto,

You might consider the Cacica of Cofitachiqui, a female Mvskoke “chief”
who welcomed and offered hospitality to Hernando De Soto. De Soto then
looted Mvskoke temples and took her and those with her prisoner. She escaped
and led her company and De Soto’s slaves to freedom. This foreshadows
the Seminole fight for freedom and their help to escaping African slaves.

this might be helpful. No acknowledgement is needed.
