Dear Editor,
Why do Seminole casinos not have Blackjack?

Dear JMe4540700@aol.com,
We have Class II table games only. Blackjack is a Class III game.
Thank you for your question,

Dear Editor,
I thank you for your excellent and very kind review of my book Art of the Florida Seminole and Miccosukee Indians in The Seminole Tribune. The publishing company, University Press of Florida, just sent a copy of the issue with the review in it.
I have felt privileged to have many enjoyable years of working with the Seminole and Miccosukee people. I cherish their friendship, trust and the way they opened up to me so I could tell their story through art history. Book reviewer Ramona Kiyoshk is very correct to say the book is a loving tribute. I have seen astounding changes since I first started visiting them in 1974 and wish them all of the success they so deserve.
Again, thank you Ramona Kyoishk for your comments.
Sincerely,

Dear Editor,
Hello from Canada! How much time should a person allow themselves in Billie Swamp Safari with the purchase of a Day Package?
Thank you,
Birthe
Dear Birthe,
I usually recommend allowing at least four hours for our Day Package. This gives you plenty of time to do the airboat, buggy and your chosen show; but it will also allow you to visit our gift shop and restaurant, as well as our nature trail and many animal exhibits.
If you have more time I also recommend visiting the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum, just three miles from the Swamp Safari entrance.
Thank you,

Dear Editor,
Good afternoon. I am trying to locate information regarding obstacles to health and economic development to Southeastern Tribes as we prepare to conduct a needs assessment of South Carolina Tribes. Do you have any information that you could share with us? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
In unity,
Barbara MorningStar Paul
Dear Ms. Paul,
The best resource for you to turn to is the United South and Eastern Tribes office. You can find contact information at usetinc.org.

Dear Editor,
I’m trying to find out information about the medicine man/woman traditions. I know they are not talked about outside the Tribe but I truly want to learn more about it. I don’t know who is reading this message but perhaps you know who this might be forwarded too. I would appreciate some communication.
Thank you for your time,
Aaron Peck
Dear Mr. Peck,
Thank you for your interest in our Tribal culture and traditions. This topic has been covered by many anthropologists and there are various publications on the topic. You can visit various universities as well as museums to conduct this sort of research; appointments are usually required. We do not discuss this topic with the non-Tribal public. We appreciate your understanding.
Sincerely,
