Title

Mike Osceola, a Member of the Tribal Council, 1959

Description

A Miccosukee man with a high school education who spoke fluent English, Mike Osceola lived on the Tamiami Trail. Although he did not live on a reservation, he was very much involved in the Seminole Tribe's politics and tended to favor policies that integrated the Florida Indians into U.S. society. Some Miccosukee and Seminole tribal members questioned the wisdom of Osceola’s agenda.
