The Seminole people, descended from Creek groups who migrated south in the 1700s, developed a distinct culture in Florida’s swamps and prairies. Known as “the unconquered,” they resisted U.S. efforts to remove them during the Seminole Wars of the 1800s, retreating deeper into the Everglades rather than surrender. Today, the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes preserve traditions such as patchwork clothing and chickee huts while leading enterprises that support tribal sovereignty.
