Title
Florida Governor David Sholtz Meeting with Seminole Indians Living in Camps Near the Florida Everglades, 1936
Description
Concerned about steady encroachment––especially from the National Park Service as the U.S. prepared to create the new Everglades National Park––the Indian delegation living on the Tamiami Trail wanted assurances that they would not be moved from their lands around the Everglades. They also wanted limited U.S. influence on their lands. This image depicts Governor Sholtz symbolically meeting the Indians within the jurisdiction of their territory.
