Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida

The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida is a Native American community that traditionally inhabited the Florida Everglades and surrounding areas. They are descendants of indigenous peoples who maintained their cultural practices, language, and land connections despite historical challenges. Today, the tribe has their own government, resources, and a reservation in South Florida, where they preserve their cultural heritage through arts, traditions, and education. They are recognized as a sovereign nation, working to protect their lands, culture, and rights while coexisting within the broader state and national framework.
