Even more interesting about the Seminole . . . they never surrendered or signed any treaties with the US government. They just went deeper into the Everglades . . . and here they are now with the ability to buy a multi-million dollar corporation.
Good for them!

All:
As a matter of passing interest, or maybe not, my maternal grandmother's first husband was the captain of the personal yacht of the Norris family [Detroit and Chicago]. The yacht was named 'Osceola' in honour of the Semilnole chief. Unfortunately, I have not the slightest idea why, since members of the family owned both the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks of the NHL, and one would have thought they'd have used one of those names, if they wanted something Indian-related..
Merry Winter and Happy Transition Into The New Calendar Year.
