Seminole Indians Research Paper
Title: Seminole Indians
The Seminole Indians lived near the ocean in Florida. These areas had a hot and humid climate in the summer and mild climate in the winter. They had lots of rainfall.
They used their environment for water, food, and shelter.
Plants, animals, water, and wood were available to them.
They used fish, plants, and animals for food. They used animal skin, feathers, and cotton for clothing. Wood and hay were used for housing. Canoes and dogs were used for transportation. Each Seminole tribe has its own government, laws, police, and services. They usually practice Christianity.
Seminole Indians lived in villages. They were hunters, gathers,and farmers. The
men role was to hunt for food and protect their family. The women were farmers, cooks, and took care of the children.
Seminole boys and girls went to school and helped around the house.The boys would go fishing and hunting with their fathers.
The stomp dance is a summer social ceremony that brings people together to purify their spirit, body and heart and to celebrate the strength and harmony. They mainly use the drums to create their music.
Patchwork made of stripes, diamonds, and different figures were used in their art.
Their crafts included making baskets from straw and making necklaces from beads. The most interesting things I learned is how they made clothes from different materials.
