Title
Letter from Commissioner Glenn Emmons to Howard Osceola of the Everglades Miccosukee Tribe, October 17, 1958
Description
In this letter, Commissioner Glenn Emmons rebuked the Miccosukee Council's letter that made a demand for land from the U.S. government and also presumed to advise federal officials on their obligations. He rebutted the suggestion that the Miccosukee Tribe could be a sovereign state within the boundaries of the United States. Future events suggest that this letter only served to escalate the Miccosukee’s campaign to acquire land and win separate recognition from the Seminole Tribe.
