The Havana Connection: Buffalo Tiger, Fidel Castro, and the Origin of Miccosukee Tribal Sovereignty, 1959-1962
On 26 July 1959, the new Cuban revolutionary government of Fidel Castro held a gigantic manifestacionor celebration in Havana. This national holiday was ostensibly declared to commemorate the six-month anniversary of the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista's repressive regime. The date also held strong historical significance because Castro called his revolution the "26th of July Movement" in honor of the date in 1953 when his guerrilla fighters launc…
An Assumption of Sovereignty: Social and Political Transformation among the Florida Seminoles, 1953-1979
In the early 1950s, the very existence of the Florida Seminoles was in jeopardy. Mired in poverty, poorly educated, underemployed, and without a tribal government, they also faced the possibility that the U.S. Congress would terminate services to them. Fortunately, loss of reservation lands was averted and the situation began to improve. When the federal government approved a charter and constitution for the tribe in 1957, it marked both the offi…

Pelts, Plumes, and Hides: White Traders among the Seminole Indians 1870-1930
Only a handful of Indians remained in Florida as the Third Seminole War ended in 1858. When Chief Billy Bowlegs led his band out of the Big Cypress Swamp, accepted a government indemnity, and boarded the steamer Grey Cloud which would take him and his group to their new home in the Indian Territory, he estimated that only thirty-eight warriors and their families were left behind. This was probably a low figure, but his information was relayed to …
