UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The name Seminole" means
runaway" and the tribe was given
the name because of an event which
took place more than two centuries
ago. A large number of Greek In
dians left their villages in Georgia,
and moved into Florida.
These "runaways" spread over a
large part Of Florida. In later years
they took part In warfare with
American settlers who wanted to
drive them away.
One stretch OF Seminole warfare,
lasting seven years. cost the United
States Government $40, 900 900, and
close to $500 American soldiers lost
their lives. The Seminoles were de-
feated. and most of those left alive
were moved to Oklahoma. A few
hundred stayed in Florida, making
their homes in the swampy lands
known as the Everglades.
The Seminole type of house is
famed because of its open sides.
Living in State with a mild cli-
mate even in mid-wlnter, the In
dians built homes which were not
at all closed in.
Palmetto trees were employed in
ouilting Seminole homes. Posts of
palmetto wood held up the roof. and
the roof was thatched with palmetto
leaves.
One Seminole dwelling, which WAS
standing 60 years ago, was nine feet

lodge was almost like the grass house
OF the Wichita Indians, but it was
finished more strongly and was bet
ter fitted to keep of chill winter
winds. The Pawnee tribe had a
legend which said their ancestors
had built grass houses, but had been
taught by beavers to make the earth
lodge.
The start Of an earth lodge was
ditch cut in q circle. It was about
three feet deep, and tall posts were
placed in 1t. Willow branches and
saplings were used in making the
rest Of the framework of the walls
and roof.
Over the framework the Indians
placed bundles Of dry grass and
squares of sod. Rain fell on the
grass and often 1t kept growing
after being put in place. There even
were earth lodges with wild flowers
growing on the sides and roof!

they were on long hunting trips, but

tive distribution program authorized

During 1888, total Of 1859. 728
trees were distributed, according to
the forest service, more than double
the 26,l50,197 trees distributed In

ment to match funds with states to
carry on fire protection work in for
ests and for furnishing forest tree
seedlings for paintings on farms.
