Sons of Jimmie and Susie Billie: Independent Traditional Seminole Indians, 1983
Description
Sons of Jimmie and Susie Billie: Frankie, Bobby C., Paul, David, Danny, and Bobby. Bobby Billie and Danny Billie, in particular, would become prominent leaders within the Independent Traditional Seminole community.
Several dozen Indians broke away from both the Seminole and Miccosukee Tribes in the mid-20th century as a result of disagreement with the two larger groups over how to interact politically with the federal and state governments. Establishing a community on the Western coast of Florida––in the area known as Immokalee––they did not want to be federally recognized by the U.S.
