Editor’s Note: This letter is in regards to a trip several tribal citizens and tribal employees made to Berlin, Germany to attend the ITB tourism convention and promote tourism to the Seminole Tribe.
Dear Tom Gallaher, Development and Promotions Coordinator, Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum,
The picture you sent me arrived as a very nice surprise, in more ways than one. Thank you again for the visit and for the Seminole jacket I wear with pride.
On behalf of the school, you’ve provided up with some pictures that could be displayed, thus serving as an “attention getter” and reminder, which the students enjoy. Although I only faintly hear the sound of the rhythm, we remember that we managed to get almost all of the students in both assemblies involved in the friendship dance; a feat that a lot of adults did not think could be done.
The entire program served as a chance for us to gain insight into a culture in person, rather than just relying on the traditional methods.
Should you be in contact with any of the members who participated, please give them our regards and thank them again for taking the time to come out to the Kennedy school and putting on that assembly performance.
Many thanks again Tom, for sending us this picture album, and for the entire visit in general. It helped our students to better appreciate the diversity on the U.S., and in particular, some of the Native American tribes; imperative to understanding U.S. history.
Greetings to all from Berlin!
Kind regards,
Chris Hanna, Principal
John F. Kennedy School in Berlin, Germany
Dear Editor,
Hello. I have been checking sites for a potato recipe when I came across your site. I noticed you had some recipes on the site, but there is one in particular I am unable to find anywhere and hoping you may be able to help me on this one.
A few years ago in Northampton, Mass., there was a Native American fair. Among the foods that were served was a potato dish that seemed to be boiled down (kind of mushy soft, but not mashed) potato and contained, I think onion, bacon, possibly green pepper, and some spices.
I’m afraid it isn’t much to go on; the potato wasn’t a sweet potato and I don’t know what spices were used in it. It was absolutely delicious and when I asked what it was called, the gentleman said “Seminole Potato.”
I really can’t recall all the ingredients to this, but I was wondering if perhaps you are familiar with this recipe? I have searched the web high and low with no results. My husband and I enjoyed it so much and since have been trying to find this mysterious recipe.
Thank you,
Debbie
