Dunlawton Sugar Mill Garden • Port Orange, FL

In 1835, this former sugar mill was burnt down by the Seminoles. They were protesting of the capturing of Chief Osceola, who is still a well-known figure to this day. The Seminoles’ string of attacks were successful in the area, freeing enslaved people working on this land and establishing their strength against tyranny. Their tribe is also notably the only one in the US to never have had to sign a peace treaty with the government. Today this place holds unique beauty in its Florida nature and deep history within it.

[Le Parisien] - « Les gens sont perdus » : au Texas, une communauté antivax ravagée par la rougeole et le déni
Par Mehdi Bouzouina

#Seminole, dans le nord-ouest du #Texas, est frappé depuis plusieurs semaines par une #ÉpidémieDeRougeole, maladie d’un autre temps. La plupart des cas ont été identifiés au sein de la communauté mennonite, un mouvement chrétien évangélique contre la vaccination galvanisé par l’ascension de #RobertKennedyJr., l’actuel ministre de la #Santé.

#SeminoleTribe gets federal disaster declaration for #HurricaneMilton

October 11, 2024
Story by Dianna Hunt, Indian Country Today (ICT)

"President Joe Biden has issued an emergency disaster declaration for the Seminole Tribe of Florida for recovery and relief efforts from damage wrought by #HurricaneMilton, which brought #rain, #tornadoes, #flooding and high winds as it moved across Central Florida after making landfall late Wednesday.

"The declaration, released Tuesday, Oct. 8, will allow the Federal Emergency Management Agency [#FEMA] to coordinate disaster relief efforts with the tribe and will provide funding to help with recovery, according to the declaration.

"It is the fourth emergency declaration for the Seminole Tribe in the last four years, including declarations for hurricanes Nicole and Ian in 2022 and for the pandemic from 2020-2023.

"A statement from the White House said that Biden administration officials had also been in touch with the #MiccosukeeTribe of Indians of Florida, the only other federally recognized tribe in the state. The tribe had not received a disaster declaration as of Thursday, though the tribe did receive a declaration in 2022 for Hurricane Nicole.

"Both Seminole and Miccosukee lands were in the path of Hurricane Milton, which made landfall from the Gulf of Mexico south of Tampa, Florida, and quickly moved across the center of the state before exiting into the Atlantic Ocean.

"The extent of the damage to the tribal areas has not been clear, though news reports indicated a tornado was spotted near the Miccosukee Service Plaza, a popular stop for food, bathrooms, and gas on the highway that stretches from Miami to Naples." [I've been there a few times as a youngster...]

Inter-Tribal Council of the #firstnations Five Tribes (the #Cherokee, #Chickasaw, #Choctaw, #Seminole, and #Muscogee nations) as well as the #Osage Nation Congress—have formally opposed #HB1775. “The vague wording of the law has contributed to fear among school districts and teachers about teaching accurate historical information,” the council wrote last year, “including accurate history of the experiences of Native American peoples in #Oklahoma.”
