Museum of Florida History presents Seminole People of Florida: Survival and Success an exhibition on view through August 18, 2013..
The exhibit is created in a spirit of admiration for the Seminole people who have not only survived and prospered, but have overcome extreme adversity. The exhibit provides an insight into the rich Seminole history, culture, and artistic traditions from the mid–1850s to the present. More than ninety artifacts are featured, including several examples of patchwork clothing from the Museum’s collection of Seminole artifacts. Other artifacts include baskets, dolls, jewelry, utilitarian items, and more. Historic photographs, colorful graphics, and informative text panels help interpret the Seminoles’ way of life.
The exhibit also includes artifacts on loan from the Seminole Tribe’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum, notably an early nineteenth-century bandolier bag and nine paintings by respected Seminole artist Noah Billie.
