Title

Miccosukee Medicine Man Ingraham Billie with His Family and Episcopal Deaconess Harriet Bedell, ca. mid 1900s

Description

Ingraham Billie, a Miccosukee medicine man, opposed the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. His and other leaders’ resistance spanned over two decades from the enactment of the law through the campaign to ratify a Miccosukee tribal constitution in 1956. The federal government dropped a 1940s plan to restructure the government on the reservations when no consensus could be reached among the various factions of Florida Indians.
