Unconquered Florida Seminoles | Untold Stories | Florida History

- In the 1700s, Europeans dubbed the native Americans living in Florida the "Seminoles" - the "wild ones." Three wars were fought in the 1800s to remove the native Americans from Florida, but the Seminoles survived - and never signed a peace treaty. The unconquered Florida Seminoles adapted to life in the Everglades, eventually thriving in the modern world while preserving their cultural traditions.
The sunshine state has a rich and colorful history. For hundreds of years the state has attracted dreamers, opportunists, inventors and fortune-seekers. WGCU's Untold Stories aims to preserve the history of Southwest Florida communities.

Unconquered Florida Seminoles | Untold Stories | Florida History

How can natives be "squatters with no rights to the land"? That fight should be revisited.
You have no right to the land either unless you CAN PROVE your native american
Aboriginal title to the land belongs to those who were here before the Europeans
By right of conquest vikings did it to the english native tribes did it to other native tribes, conquered hunting grounds and claimed them… history is important
How are you called a"squatter" on your own land? The illogical brain damage of the colonizers is unreal.
I call it mass cultural pyschosis
Has nothing to do with Colonizers....But has all to do with a government hat messes things up!
@@davinaeverett2485 that’s what we are in right now ‼️
If you have ever set foot in the Florida Swamps you can understand why they could never be defeated or pushed out of this unbearable terrain
Similar,. with the "Cajuns"
I enjoyed this post w/t exception of the presumptuous theory that captured Africans learned about farming from the plantations owners. African tribes on the Western Coast were mainly agricultural cultures long before the European planted his first seed in the earth.
True, some African showed the white how to grow rice
Blessed thank you for the insight
That's why they don't need to be trying to tell a fake history about this land.
He said freed slaves. Not captured Africans. His statement is correct because freed slaves in the U.S. gained agricultural experience from slavery since they never lived in Africa.
The seminoles and their history is criminally untold
We need more American Stories of our Native people - social media garbage is drowning them out and their history
I truly agree it’s sad but true😪😪
So start a social media page about Indians, keep their story alive...
Go to Dane Calloway, that’s his CZcams channel. He talks about the American Indians & other history
We're still here & Aboriginals, are not indians, slaves My father was Aucilla + I don't need a Hard Rock Cafe to know I'm a Native of Turtle Island in my heart & soul it can never be removed by colonizational citizenship .
💪 ♥️ ✌️
Omg
Just out of interest why do the earliest pictures show dark skinned curly hair and now they are the opposite?
😂😂😂 Thats a good question !
The dolls were dark too. 🧐
I noticed that too. American Aborigines were dark people with many hair grades and phenotypes.
Because Indians ain’t have hair salons lol what you think a native look like after a couple days working hard. People wanna believe that the slaves was such a big part and just from todays views, where they at now they the first to forget they heritage, and now they wanna get recognized. Get outta here. I’m 100% Seminole and got family that grew up in the woods and they explain why we have our beliefs and why we don’t agree with logees or hudkess
@@ashash6509 the dolls are dark because they're made with sabal palm
I’m a Floridian and am appalled at the way our Native Americans have been killed, abused, herded like cattle and used as sideshow attractions for the enjoyment of vacationers. On the other hand I am in awe of the resilience and ingenuity of The Seminole Tribe. Nothing pleases me more than to see them prosper tremendously from their gaming operations which are absolutely top notch. I have a difficult time accepting the justification that was stated at the end of this video that “without our treatment of The Seminoles they may have disappeared”. While there may be truth in the statement it is nonetheless sickening to hear those words.
Being born and raised in Naples FL I highly respect and love the Seminole culture. They are extremely tough people who have persevered through so much striff and their still here today. Amazing!
I didn't know they existed in florida
I cry inside when I see true stories like this. My people cry out from their sleep!
There is a tribe in Coahuila, Mexico called the Mascogo - they are descendants of Seminoles and runaway slaves. They have a community in Musquiz. The Mexican government gave them sanctuary during the 1800s.
My grandmother was a Seminole! 1500 white men to 100 natives and they fought for 3 years! This is amazing. My grandma was born in 1934. Omg! Why am i just knowing this! My grandma could sew her ass off too. She used to make clothes. 🙏🏾
Hello there.., are you doing?? I hope you fine and staying safe???
Awee this is so tender & sweet enjoy 😉 honey
God bless you lyle.
Is there anyones history the so called hebrew israelites are not trying to steal? It's like their trying to monopolize on all nationalities except their own. Leave other people's heritage alone! Please!
@@prestonsmith9824 Her ancestors and The Most High got this!! Evil won’t win this one. Play nice.
To say that all the Indians in Florida came to be known as Seminoles is an overly broad statement. Muscogee-speaking and Euchee-speaking Creeks stayed behind in the panhandle after all three Creek Wars, although their cultural distinctiveness became weaker over time. It is possible there were still a few holdouts in the early 20th century, near the Shoal River.
The original "Seminoles" were Africans who ran away from florida plantations.
There are African and Native alliances throught Louisiana also. As well as enemies that hunted each other. Some fought for the European colonist. They fought against the French and Spanish colonialism. Started maroon communities in the swamps around New Orleans. We intermingled and intermingled. Many documented stories about these occurrences.
Would you have any info on the Real Mardi Gras aka the Black MardiGras ?
I grew up with these very fine people and respect them and culture very much. The government tried to stick it to them Just like all the Native Americans. These Great people got the government good. I would love to see these folks tell the the government we have enough money to buy the the whole state of Florida now get the hell out. Just to see how that feel..Huh?????
I really enjoyed learning about the Seminole people- this was great!
I was told by my aunt before she passed away that my family were descendants of the Creek Indians. I was amazed! Thank you for this video! Tears of happiness I had knowing that they were able after a long while be successful in business, yes they did survive!
I wish we could have gotten the story from more of the Seminole people. There is tremendous satisfaction knowing they now thrive as a contemporary tribal group.
A family member man married a Seminole named Belle and my family always said I looked like her yes we’re Black
She must’ve been big town lol
I've always admired these people that couldn't be conquered.
Allowing a culture to be tax free and operate casinos is not in my opinion a non-conqured people. I believe the term would be more like assimilated into the depravity of the subjectors. Bought and paid for people is just another form of slavery.
This is crazy because I just did an ancestry DNA test and I found that I have cousins in Haiti and in Mexico. All lineages of my family come "black" slaves and I even still live in the town that my ancestors settled in right after slavery. Some of us intermarried with natives.
I’m finding this out rn my 2nd great grand uncle intermarried wit a native woman
Yep
Well Ancestry DNA made that money. And they have your DNA. Even though many of us already knew these type companies are just for the money, like your holiday celebrations!
My son used the same people in hope of getting his DNA analyzed and what a big lie they told him. Their so called finding were that he was 37% white and my husband and I are both so called BLACK! I’m just saying these fraudulent DNA COMPANIES ARE MAKING MILLIONS OFF PEOPLE desperation of finding out the truth about who they are. IT’S ALL A LIE FOR THE MONEY! get it? They decided what to tell you. Think about it! How can these crooks tell anyone about who or what people you related to just by a little spittle? IN AFRICA? PLEASE! My son was excited to learn by these liars that he was 37% white and had full knowledge that both of his parents were so called black. YOU AND OTHERS THAT USES THESE TYPE HAS BEEN DUKED OUT OF YOUR MONEY that’s all with what they decided to label you as. 98% of so called blacks in this continent of America are indigenous aborigines niiji. We’re not party to two continents! The other percentage here in America are people from some place else. My dad always told my family we are Cherokee. Find out who you are from your grandma or great grandmother. They knows exactly who you are. Who told you who you are?
@@kennethfrierson2037I think
What city in Florida are you from I’m from Jacksonville
We the dark skin people were always here not runner slave but hunted for our land
"Seminole" is a corruption of "cimarron", which means run away. The original SEMINOLES were Africans.
We black people were slaves to the Seminole
Indigenous Amuru Khans.
This stories bogus, my family is Seminole. How could 100 fight off thousands for years. All those Black folk from down south are still Seminole my family. They literally act as if all the Black Seminole disappeared. Lies.
what do you mean "how could 100 fight off thousands of years̠", literally who said that? also, the documentary talks about Seminoles in the past and present tenses, where do they suggest they "all disappeared"? imght be projecting a little bit.
Facts ,most so called Black people in Florida that were there before the 1900s are in fact the descendants of the Yamasee Seminoles
I met an American Indian lady in Brisbane Australia. She said she was Seminole.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
We will never give up. Seminole
Back-in-the-day the Seminoles had different ways with dealing with people that was unjust
Very informative and enjoyable video. Thank you
How can anyone do what they done to natives and call themselves a proud Americans. What a shameful way of building a nation
America was built on thievery. That's the truth and nothing but the truth. Guess what, it's still going on today. Too many democrats in a particular area, officials gerrymander to their liking. Don't like election results attempt to steal an election.
Because you can't call yourself a American because your ancestors are colonists that fled from Europe...
But they think their a blessed nation smh 🤦🏽♀️
Same thing they did to the Indigenous Black Aborigines' and all other cultures...smdh
BEST NATION IN THE WORLD, EVEN THE INDIANS WILL TELL YOU THIS!! 🇺🇸
Thanks for this information
Thank you
Shout out to Wildcat and John horse.
I have ancestors who settled in Florida during the 1800s and into the early 1900s. It bothers me so much to think that they most likely engaged in some less than savory behavior regarding the native people. My family made it as far south as Charlotte County, so they weren't directly involved in this video's events, but they still had worked their way south from Georgia on lands that natives lived on. 😑
This is why history needs to be reported with the truth.
Instead of lies and dishonesty
Call it what it is
Thanks taking not thanksgiving
Learning about the 1715 treasure shipwrecks off the east coast and J.Dickinsons "adventures" with the Ais Indians brought me full circle to learn about the Seminole Tribe and the 3 Seminole wars.. What a story. I had no idea they had a hand in the building of Alligator Alley.. I'm glad in the end they became billionaires they deserve every single penny.
THANK U .... SEMINOLE TRIBES FOR ALL YOU HAVE GIVEN....
Southeast Tuscorara nation thanks you so much....
LOVE LIVE STILL ALIVE AFTER ALL THIS TIME ❤️😍
Enjoyed this
Seminoles in Florida continue to be abused by the state government. If that's not enough, non-native Americans heap abuse on them in public and private. I live in Florida. I see this happen all the time.
Seminole also have a rate of drug abuse per capita
@@madeindade6822 That doesn't even make sense
Awesome history of Florida,,love me some Florida 🤙🏽
Excellent......
This is sad 😥. May GOD Bless my People.
The word Siminole is a variation of our Creek word Simi Noli which means lives with animals or Ranchers. Some of the things said in this video is not exactly true, but as usual it fits the white mans narrative concerning our people. Osceola is the spanish name for Ocilla, his true Creek name. It means land of two springs where he was born in now days the town of Ocilla, Ga. The Siminole people are Creek people that moved to Fla after the Creek civil war.
Loved it.
The aborigines were not All wipes out some live on today…..
I respect you n ur ancestors Mr. Hanson
I’m here because my father always said our bloodline was Seminole. This explained our ties to Florida. Our family moved to Georgia.
Osciola is the man. He is my kind of person for sure. I sympathize with him and everybody around him.
I'm a white guy, but before that I'm a florida man. My grandma learned how to sew, and learned nursing from Betty Mae Tiger Jumper, who happened to be the first Seminole to learn to speak, read, and write English, as well as the first and so far only chairwoman the noles ever had. This is a beautiful video, but you have a few errors regarding choice and culture.
Hello from Suwannee County Florida
They will not tell it with truth
The truth is not in them.
This was such an attention holding video. Thanks 😷🍹
We need many here
Hello Veronica! How are you doing? I hope you are fine and staying safe??
Yamasee were not runaway slaves. They were a tribe from what is now south carolina and georgia. The Yamasee wars preceded the Seminole wars. Yamasee were Black Indian tribe
Not true
The Spanish mixed with the Indians whereas the Anglo Americans killed and separated them into reservations until this day.
The trail of tears. 😪
How can indigenous people be squatters?
Are you really that beautiful?
A resilient & beautiful people! 💚
But dont mess with them!👊
i loev this story
Black people were here way before Columbus. Even in 1619, those 20 female slaves and children came from the West Indies.
That's ridiculous.. Our ancestors came from West and Central Africa. Th Black people in the West Indies came from Africa through the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade as well.
@@d.d.sarason8749 😆, I hope that's supposed to be a joke. Who told you that?
@@d.d.sarason8749 I bet you never heard of the Olmecs.
Exactly!...
I wouldn't doubt it because their was a slave and Indian alliance
He is not being truthful . The word Seminole means runaway in referring to the black who were enslaved, who ran to the south (Florida ) instead of falling the north star (underground railroad). This is why we must do our own research.
The underground railroad didn't just ran north.
These is heartbreaking. I knew it would be. Sorry I cannot finish watching it. 6:42
"Seminole" is a corruption of the word "cimarron", which means "run away". Africans didnt join the Seminoles, they were the Seminoles. Over time creek indians adopted the name "Seminoles"
Exactly..The truth aren't in those people history story films..The new day ones are not from the original cream of the crops/ the true tribes.Im so tired of the lies..
Teach.
Actually Yatsiminoli was the word and it means free people
Large numbers of Native people and Escaped Previously Enslaved people lived together in the Everglades mixing freely. Europeans didn't like large numbers of free non-whites, bought land from the Spanish, and expelled and killed and went on with stealing and taking the land.
Actually it comes from Yatsiminoli Free People
Is this series available to purchase?
Much love Paul BANG ®
HAPPY MOTHER DAY TM
They welcomed those people-(the slaves)
That’s cap…those people you call slaves are aborigines..lol…the truth shall make u free
Heavy
The Spaniards didn't wipe anyone out. Those people are still here,but there color changed by nature. The wiping out is an illusion. Some of those Spaniards are about as dark skinned now as the Seminoles we're back then.
Watching this pissed me off so bad!!!!!!
Can someone tell me how to find out my native heritage.I really would appreciate the opportunity to learn my life lineage. Thank you.
Dane Calloway can help you. He has a CZcams channel look him up. Blessings to you 🙏
spooky entity at center of photo with hat at 23:35
I just started to listen to this and had to stop to text something i remembered from a child my father told me, we are CHOCTAW and they got moved in the 1800's to CHOCTAW national territory and lost thier home land because of a treaty that was dishonored "DANCING RABBIT" my father told me that when the Spaniards came to concor them they rode up on horses, met the indigenous people on the bank of some water, word was they said "we are here to capture you and enslave you "is what it sounded like, anyway the tribe was in thier canoes and the chief stood up and said "you will have to come in the water to get us" and the chief turned and paddled away soo the invaders tryied to follow them, but after the horses waded out soo far maybe some gators showed up and took care of them, the chief and his tribe escaped because they calmly turrned and left over the waters,apparently ey concored no one but escaped thier would be oppressers, i don't know anything about the tribes in florida but he told the story with excitment soo i wondered if it really happened, i live in Louisiana and we have gators here because we have swamps and they thrive, its hot and steamy here some times and sometimes very cold with snow and ice, the worst is the flooding, but we clearly have 4 seasons and springtime is beautiful, we joke about the gators pulling santa in his pireaux, a flat boat with only one person to sit in, we have an accsent farther down south because they speak french, the food is good and my dad would say you can eat everything here if you starve to death its your own fault, glad to know they escsped when the spaniards came, we have tribes here to and they should have done the same, we got soo many gators, everyone can have a suit case, purse, boots, belt,hat band, and wallet and never miss a gator, like you would think you could get the population down but guess not, we would have invited them into the water also.
To me any native is family ❤
The Chicora hid in the swamps too.
You guys really need to show the real people not want to be me
Henry Perrine was murdered by Calusas- so they hung around for a long time. The Timucua lived among The Spanish and travelled with them when they evacuated Florida for Cuba after British conquest
Bartram's , Travels in Florida 1774-1776 is an excellent resource on Creek Indian culture and agricultural practices . I myself am decescend from both the Seminoles (Tigertail's band) and the white colonists who fought against them .
Now truth be told.
No matter the situation, we as humans will coexist.
This story is told in Exterminate all the Brutes by Raul Peck. The Seminloes technically never surrendered but were decimated nonetheless.
20:20 there's no mistake that she made her quote at that exact time that is fate
I say good luck to them they have earned everything!
What about the hurricane around 1928ish???
People for get too quickly
Colonizers have a hard time knowing what happen here, BEFORE they invaded.
$5 Indians 🤦🏾♂️
12 tribes
None of which happen to be in the United States.

QAM YASHARAHLA!
Ty very convenient
Dude wtffff I live in Florida and have tamiami right through my town like wowwwe
My great great grandfather was native American Indian from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The Ocokee tribe from Ocracoke. They were driven off the island by white settlers. They migrated west to the Great Smokie Mountains where they eventually were accepted by the Cherokee tribe. My grandfather was half Cherokee half Ocokee. I am disgusted at how our native people all over this country are still treated so unfairly!
I had to do a research after having series , of dreams that lead me to my Grandmother that was born in the 1840 a beautiful Seminoles a Still picture.
My relatives in my home land. I shall not be denied my heritage!
Name meaning
we need to be educated on the owens valley paiute indian war.. those paiutes and there war chiefs need to be rememberd.!
My great great grandfather was one of the first Whites allowed to settle on the Seminole land. He was a moonshiner, and became good friends with several chiefs. We had a beautiful collection of headdress, sacred pipes, and many beautiful clothes that were given to my family in trade. Several years back, the collection was donated back to the Seminole nation. What they didn't want was given to the University of Florida.

Seminole means runaway Seminole Wars or Gullah Wars was a war waged by Black Americans against slavery for over 100 years.
...Seminole comes from Muskogee, meaning wild child
