I just read that Max Osceola of the Seminole Tribe says it is okay for Florida State University to continue calling its sports teams “The Seminoles”. I think that’s great.I am very far from a native American (second generation Dutch, actually), but I have always thought naming sports teams after native Americans was a compliment to them and their spirit.
I could not understand the objection, although of course each tribe has the right to feel however it wants about this.
Anyway, I just wanted to say I salute your tribe and will root for Florida unless they are playing UCLA or USC.

I am trying to locate Bobby Henry and his wife. My husband and I were married in the Tampa Museum before they tore it down.Mrs. Henry made my dress and when we were there this past November, we felt incredibly sad to see that the museum was gone (happy to see progress on the Res) but nevertheless, we felt like a piece of our history was no more.
Is it possible for you to help us? Our information is listed below if you feel more comfortable passing it on.
Thanks and God Bless,

My name is Vicky from the Six Nations Reservation in Canada, Ontario. I am writing to you about information about a Softball Tournament(NASA) that is going to be held in Florida.I am not sure where it is going to be held. If you have any information about this, could you please e-mail me.
Last year it was held in Mississippi. If you have any information on this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Vicky

Vicky, the NASA Fast Pitch Tournament will be held on May 23-24 at Osceola Park in Hollywood. For more information, please call Bo Young of the Hollywood Recreation Department at (954) 989-9457.
Mr. Max Osceola,
I want to thank you and your tribe for standing up against so much of the political correctness that is flowing through this country.I have been an FSU fan since I was born (although I ended up going to Auburn University), and have recognized from day one that FSU chose the ‘Seminole’ as their mascot because of the bravery and strength most Native American tribes are recognized for.
I truly believe (as you apparently do also) that it is a great honor to your tribe when Chief Osceola rides onto the field and plants his flaming spear.
War Eagle!

I had the opportunity of working with some outstanding people last week during the First Annual Mens Wellness Conference.This conference was absolutely wonderful. Ralph Billie, Helene Buster and Suzanne Davis were the brains behind the whole thing. And, many already know already the work that Helene does for the Wellness conference that is held every summer so her expertise came in handy.
Suzanne brought her energy, her ability and her personality and, quite frankly, it was a joy to work with her. And Ralph was great. We teased each other about my driving but don’t believe a word of it. Thank you for giving me this chance. The Health Department can know that they have two wonderful employees still working for them. And the retired one (Ralph) is just as much fun.

Hello. I used to live in Hollywood and became very fascinated by the Seminole Tribe and I would like to know if there is a web site in which I could purchase things (blankets, dreamcatchers, etc.). I would really appreciate any help that you could give me.Thank You.
