If the city has a central artery, it is the Miami River. Less than 100 years ago, Seminole and Miccosukee Indians paddled dugout canoes on the river, going east from their homes in the Everglades. They came to trade with settlers at the mouth of the Miami River. The rapids are gone now, disappearing, sucked dry as human demand for space drained water from the Everglades. Yet the travel pattern set by those early traders remains.
People still come to Miami, central city of South Florida and capital city of sub-tropical America.
