Seminole Marketplace Scarf
Dear Sir,

I am interested in the Seminole scarves you offer at your marketplace. What is the finished size of the scarves? Does the patchwork border come on all four sides? If not, is it possible to special order a scarf with the border on four sides?
If so, what would the cost be?
Sincerely,
Anne Bucknam

The Seminole Market Place replies:
Hello Anne. Thank you for your interest in a Seminole Patchwork scarf. The scarf only has three sides, and measures approximately 32x46x36.
If you would like patchwork on all sides, we can have it custom made for $50.00. If you are interested please call me at (800) 683-7800 x1263 and I will be happy to help you further.

We have friends here from Vegas and they would like to come down and play Bingo. One of our friends is almost blind and we are wondering if you have TED machines to play Bingo.
It is a machine that the papers are programed into and then you only have to put the number in once and it will also tell you when you are waiting for a bingo and when you have a bingo.
Let me know if you have then so we can come down and play bingo there.
Thanks

Dear Carol,
We certainly do have bingo machines that the cards are programmed into and you then just hit the number and it will mark it off for you and it emits a sound when you hit a bingo.
Our bingo staff would be happy to explain the workings of the hand held machines for you when you get here. We look forward to meeting you then.

Editor,
We are students from Oologah School in Oologah Oklahoma. We need info about your tribe for our Oklahoma history class or we will fail!
If you could send information on your tribe to R0DE0CLWN@aol.com we would really appreciate it. Keep in touch.

Have you searched our website for information? www.seminoletribe.com Also, exactly what are you looking for?
Are there question for class that you are supposed to answer? It would be helpful if I knew what time period, or if you were searching for information on a particular person (e.g. Osceola, Billy Bow Legs, etc.). If you can be a little more specific, that would be helpful.
Thanks,

Hi, my name is Dawn and I am doing a research paper on the history of the Seminole people for my world history class. I just wanted to thank you for your website. It has given me a great place to start.
As you suggested at the end of the website, I am trying to be a critical thinker and to keep in mind who wrote the history of the Seminole people.
Again thank you for the site and the help you have given me.
Sincerely,
Dawn Clark

Good morning,
I am making a request on behalf of Skycrest Christian School in Clearwater, Florida. Each year, the second grade class does a special unit in November about the Native Americans and pilgrims who first settled in North America.
This unit culminates in a special celebration called the 'PowWow of Praise', where each class represents either the pilgrims or the Native Americans and is involved in various arts and crafts from each culture. Additionally the children perform a 'praise dance' and a play.
My daughter's class will be representing the Native Americans and I would like to know if your tribe does any community outreach projects where you can send a representative to do a discussion on your culture or to teach the children a Seminole Indian dance?
This is a huge celebration for these children and they are very interested in learning about your history and people. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Angie Sheridan

Angie,
We do have an “Outreach Program” offered here at the Museum. This is a fairly new program, and the area of travel is limited. So, first we would need to know where your school is located, and also the dates you are looking at.
I am going to forward your message to Anne McCudden, she is our Curator of Education, who handles this scheduling. Please keep in mind that there is a fee for this program.
Sho-na-bish!
