E-Mail to the EditorDear Editor, I am wondering if Buffalo Jim is alive. I am working on a film on prophecy and I would love to make contact with him. Thank you, Bruce Dear Bruce, Thank you for your inquiry and inclusion of one of our tribal members as a source in what sounds like an incredibly interesting project. Unfortunately, Buffalo Jim, a resident of the Big Cypress reservation, passed away. If you need more information please contact us. Tina Osceola, Executive Director Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum Dear Editor, Do you still have lightning bingo as it has been removed from your Hard Rock location? Sincerely, Allison Sirota Dear Ms. Sirota, The Seminole Casino in Hollywood provides Lightning Bingo. They are located at 4150 N. State Road 7. Call (954) 961.3220 for more information. Good luck! Jeanine Repa Senior Vice President Marketing Seminole Gaming Dear Editor, Thank you so much for the copies of The Seminole Tribune that your department provided per my request. As I mentioned, this request is in relation to the Seminole Indian/Big Cypress presentation I did on June 15 for my cultural anthropology class at Grand Canyon University, located in Phoenix, Ariz. I sure appreciate your assistance. Sincerely, Kathryn O. Steiner Dear Editor, I want to express my deepest respect for your decision to support Florida State University the name of your Tribe as their mascot. You seem to be the first to realize the actual intent of their use–it is meant as a matter of respect. Nobody names their teams after something or someone they don’t respect. Do you ever see the Kittens, Puppies, Weaklings or Caucasians? It is obviously meant as a sign that your Tribe possesses qualities that we should desire, strength and courage. Now, I don’t care much about Florida State; I live in Minnesota. I didn’t go to the university, but I would prefer they had a much stronger name than a gopher. My state has a long history or American Indians here and I fear that with the loss of our team names, the Tribes might be relegated to casino names. Sincerely, J. Ackerman |
