Dear anyone who will help me,
I need to know if I can obtain a copy of the Seminole alphabet, Seminole numbers and Seminole colors in the native language. I have two Seminole sons who I would like to show and teach their heritage to. It is not easy when we live 5 hours away from you, and the language is something I want my boys to learn.
If you can help or guide me, I would appreciate your help. I know these things are hanging on the wall of an office in some building, but I was afraid to ask for a copy since I did not want to upset anyone. I respect your culture and would like to bring it to my boys any way possible, until I can one day move to the reservation with my Seminole husband. Thank you.

Dear Seminole Tribe of Florida,
I just received my new vest. It is really nice! I've been looking at them for years and finally decided I would treat myself for Christmas. The quality and colors are exactly as I expected.
That's one present I'm not wrapping, I'm wearing it! Maybe I’ll even purchase a jacket for next year.Thank You,

Dear Editor,
I would like to talk to, or write to, Betty Mae Jumper. I hope this message will reach her, as I have a question for her. I belong to a SASHA Doll Club and we are having a 3-day festival in Ft. Lauderdale in June of 2004.
I have read her book “Legends of the Seminoles,” containing the Legend of the Corn Lady. I would like to ask permission to photo copy this legend and give out to help people during the festival. The picture would not be included, but a necklace of beaded corn will accompany the handout.
