Seminole

The Seminole people are a tribe that formed from the amalgamation during the 19th century of various groups that had been part of the Creek Confederacy and of other elements, including Black slaves. Most Seminoles are members of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida. Communities of Black Seminoles, descendants of slaves held by Seminoles who adopted Seminole culture, live in Oklahoma, Texas, Mexico and the Bahamas.
