Seminole

The Seminole were one of five Native American tribes defeated in battle by the Anglos in the Southern United States. 
Following this defeat, a piece of legislation entitled the Indian Removal Act was signed, forcing the Seminole westward into the Indian Territory. They had been driven westward by 1832, where they began living fewer than fifty winters before Spring 1880. Thousands of the Seminole died from exposure to cold, disease and hunger during the months-long march, which became known as the Trail of Tears. Among the Seminole was Totika, a medicine woman whose infant child Hachi died in the cold winter of 1832. (COMIC: The Parliament of Fear)
