Seminoles oppose U S attempt at education and civilizing
A June report profiles Florida Seminoles resisting what Congress and the Bureau of Indian Affairs call education and civilization. It notes the tribe of about 400 remains independent on Everglades lands, distrustful of whites, and wary after a long history of conflict and broken treaties. The piece describes Osceola, the 19th century war, removal efforts, and current government plans to fence a 26 000 acre tract, stock it with cattle, and educate the Seminoles only after establishing means of living. It cites incidents such as the Ashley murder case and a federal effort to win trust through a wandering Shawnee supervisor, Frank J. Brandon, while detailing the broader political debate over funding and implementation.
