Culture
The traditional Seminole people hunted and fished for food. They wore brightly colored clothes and adorned themselves with extravagant beads. They were very artistic. Their works included beautiful paintings, "Sweetgrass" baskets, extravagant bead work and beautiful dolls. There were eight different Seminole clans including the Otter, Panther, Bear, Wind, Deer, Bigtown, Bird, and Snake clans. The Seminole people held dance ceremonies for the purpose of purification, manhood and settling disputes. They lived in log framed palmetto thatched houses known as Chickees. -
