Nou Eat Food
OF White Man

What the White Man calls prog
ress has done more to affect the eat
ing habits of the Seminole than our
cultural activities have affected his
viewpoint. Draining and numbering
in the Everglades have sharply re-
duced food sources-dried creeks
and ponds, cutting timber and for
est fires have killed off wildIife.
But the accessibility of the grocery
store has tended to make up with
bakers bread, beef, coffee, sugar,
syrup and canned fruits.
The favorite dish to go along with
a piece Of venison or a tasty gar or
catfish is our-and-water batter
dropped into sizzling fat and fried
to a crisp brown. The corn which
the women once ground in hol-
lowed stump by the pestle-and-mor-
tar method now is taken to the res
ervation mill and, like many of their
pale-face brothers and sisters, how
the Seminoles love their grits!
Vans and pumpkins are raised
and dehydrated for reserves and
the bud of the palm still is eaten.
Thereby hangs tale which will
discuss in succeeding article.

consist of thick paln-fan roof with
low-hanging leaves" supported on
poles and rafters. There are no
walls in the living hut but there is
a platform a couple feet off the
ground and usually bunk-like
bench which can be used for the
women as a work table, as well as
for sleeping.
These dwellings are airy all right
and would be damp during a long
sub-tropical rainstorm if it were not
for supplementary tarpaulin.

der the palmetto roof Of his OPEN
faced hut in the Everglades. Today
there are three reservations. Will
liam Boehmer, Indian agent at
Brighton, saw that venture rise
from it's inception. He tells me ev-
cry family on that reservation owns
a car and one family boasts five.
Radios are common as are cleo
trio flashlights and kerosene Ian
terms, some knives and forks and
other practical gadgets and a lot
Of store food and canned goods.
However, there has been no change
in housing styles. Before the origi-
nal deal was closed in 1898, one of
the Seminole leaders first made
sure that living habits should not be
interfered with. He was quoted as
saying:
Indians must live in air and SUM-
shine. Must dress as their fathers
dress"
But additional opportunity for en-
ployment has brought about a de-
sire for an education. AS nearly as
I could learn, education to the Sem
mole means learning to speak Eng
fish and perhaps to read and write
it. Because the Seminoles are nat
urally intelligent, it is no trick for
them to learn If they want to. But
the labor demand likewise has in
terfered with the process. When the
family gets a special job picking
tomatoes the children go along and
pick, too. There are no penalties
for being absent from school.
With the shortage of teachers Of
every kind it is unlikely that the
supply ever will quite reach the
demand even on the part of the busy
Seminoles. The school in the Ever
glades is closed at present. Undoubt-
eddy when conditions change and
the Seminole again is confronted
with job competition the govern
ment will be called upon to furnish
the White Mans learning in larger
doses and with fewer Interruptions.
In any case neither prosperity nor
education has as yet caused the
Seminole to complain about his
housing situation. A few modern
houses built on one reservation were
left unoccupied, except for one
porch. There is nothing wrong with
Seminole chikee. A chikee really
ought to be translated room" in
stead Of house." since there are as
many separate chikees as required
for each family. They are Of two
different types, one for cooking and
one for sleeping and living. They

live three generations of single

Like most tourists when ! first
came to Florida, / was startled to
meet face to face these women in
their gayly colored skirts, their high,
bead collars, their astounding hair
dress; the men, less gayly clad but
still with their gay kerchiefs and
cowboy hats; the solemn children,
replicas Of their mothers in their
bright, flowing garments-shopping
at the Five and Ten!
It is hard to believe that these
gayly clad yet modest folk, so un-
warlike that only three ESQ far as
I know enlisted in World War II
and none were drafted. once defeat
ed the United States forces in three
wars stretching from the time of
the Revolution until almost the end
Of the last century.
BY then, with their Chief Osceola
tricked into capture while at peace
parley. all but $50 of the Seminoles
were dead or had yielded to mass
deportation to the West. But the $50
never gave in. Because of that fact
the tradition has grown that they
are still at war with the United
States.
It is true that no formal peace
treaty ever was signed-they have
had no chief since Osceola died III
captivity-but the Seminoles have
full citizenship. However. they made
their first formal and voluntary
move toward reconciliation and CO.
operation in 1898. A group of Sem
mole leaders, meeting with Amer
lean officials in the Everglades, then
asked the government for schools,
hospitals and better horses and
cattle.
A program Immediately was
drawn up and entered into with good
will on both sides, but it is ques-

much influence on the life and hab-
its and customs of the Seminole
in this short span as have the weight
of economic conditions-the depres-
sion followed by the high demand
for labor during prewar and war
periods.
For more than three quarters OF
a century no Seminole has owned
