Vires, a Latin term, on base represents strength; force; and power. However, through the realm of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, Vires epitomizes standing tall and remaining “Unconquered”. During the Seminole Wars many Seminoles were forced out of their homes and pushed into smaller groups around the state, notably around the Mississippi River. Though few Seminoles had still remained in Florida leading to the rich culture we have the privilege of seeing represented around the Florida State community. These Seminole Indians pushed on looking to the days ahead, knowing that they may very well not see the people who they began this journey with. Fostering a culture of staunch independence, creating a platform of self-government and understanding

Located in Coos Bay, Oregon, lies the Coquille Indian Tribe standing strong with over 1,000 members situated on 7,043 acres of land. This group of native americans derived from a, “mispronounced or misunderstood native word that described the river along which our forebears lived or some particular physical attribute of the surrounding estuary environment,” (Tribal Heritage). Not to mention, that’s exactly what this tribe is about, settling on low valleys of the Coos and river waters. As can be seen, the Coquilles are a very distinctive group of native americans due to their unique living styles.
During the 19th century, the Shawnee tribe was removed by the U.S. Government to what is now the state of Kansas. The group which became known as the Absentee Shawnee Tribe absented itself from the reservation in Kansas in 1845 (thus their name), and traveled southwards to Texas.

Native Americans have had a long important part of American history. Many of them started out from different descendants and eventually joined up for protection. One of these tribes became massive and ended up getting the name seminoles. The seminoles started out in Florida and had small groups form in Georgia and Alabama. But some were forced to move to Oklahoma in the 1800s. The seminoles lived by the river valleys, mountains, and the swamp mostly for food, water, and shelter (Seminole Tribe). They had many natural resources including fruit, seeds, nuts, and pumpkins (Seminole Tribe). Overall the seminoles had a great location and plentiful resources.
The Seminole Indians have lived in what we now call Florida since about 10,000 BC so it would be fair to assume their culture was in a way born out of the land they live on. They live in Florida’s everglades and hunt out of the swamp. The Seminoles were at one time many tribes they only joined into one after we forced them of their land and then gave them some back years later. Florida’s geography and climate affect several major parts of their culture including food, clothing, and housing.
Sports teams should not worry about changing their name, mascot, and pride. The cost would be outrageous. The Washington Redskins are a big NFL team. Auerbach states, “Changing the name of these well-established teams would not be easy . . . they would have to spend millions on marketing in an effort to keep long-time fans and attract new one.” Companies would not be willing to spend millions of dollars on a name change. All of the merchandise would have to be changed, it would be very time consuming. According to the article, written by Auerbach, it is stated that “The Seminole tribe . . . has for generations played a major role in Florida’s maintaining an extensive partnership with Florida State University.” The Seminole tribe gets a special
In the 1700's many Natives Americans from Georgia and Florida came to gather looking for protection. At the beginning they were differentiated for their cultures, but little by little they cultures blend until forming the Seminole. Over the next century other Native Americans and even African Americans escaping from slavery cross the border to join the seminole looking for protection.
If people did not know already, money is said to be the root of all evil. Nothing solidifies this biblical quote quite like what transpired to the Osage Tribe. While the FBI argued that the United States government officials worked to benefit the Native American tribe, it is my research that contradicts this by saying that the Osage Tribe were the targets of multiple conspiracies to steal and kill and the FBI was a part of it, taking into consideration 1) they sent people to “oversee” the Osage tribe money unnecessarily; 2) they knew about the suspicious killings happening to the tribe upon receiving their money, but neglected to intervene in time; and 3) they planned all of the Osage tribe’s misfortunes in the attempts to eradicate the bad
The American territory was sprawling across the Mississippi River and into new Native American territory. The Great Plains and far West were occupied by both Indians and Hispanics whose custom and way of live were distinct in language religion and kinship and governance. The white settlers and hunters were a threat to the resources in which they used for survival.

The southeastern fringe of the United States was persistently turbulent amid the mid nineteenth century. There was tension brewing along the border of Florida and Georgia, which was brought on by the gathering of various opponents. Rebellious men from other states such as Georgia entered Florida with expectations of outright taking the Seminole stallions and cows, not caring and having little to no regret if an Indian was killed while trying to defend his property. The Seminole warriors, looking for requital, led attacks of retaliation against honest pilgrims in Georgia. Privateers and British go getters meandered the range, actuating the Indians against the Americans, whose eager for land expansionists pined for the domain south of the Georgia outskirt. Authorities of the disintegrating Spanish Empire, whose banner flew over the state, were feeble to control occasions or stop the viciousness.
One Native American tribe in the southeastern region is the Cherokee tribe. The Cherokee tribe was the largest tribe in the southeastern region. They lived in log cabins instead of tee pees the cabins were circular they were made from various materials including cane, plaster, and sticks.. They were mostly farmers. they ate corn, squash, and beans the men however, hunted deer, bear, and turkeys The men of the tribe wore leggings and breechcloth. A breechcloth is a long rectangular piece of clothing. The women wore wraparound skirts made from fiber and deerskin.

Also, most of all the Indians got sent to Oklahoma. Cherokee is not just a tribe name it also stands for a language. There was a writing system that was invented by a Cherokee person. These are some facts about the word Cherokee and what is symbolized.
By the year 1838, there were only a small amount of Cherokees that left their homeland in Georgia for Indian Territory. The current President, Martin Van Buren directed General Winfield Scott and a large amount of soldiers to start the process of removing the Indians forcefully. Scott and his militia forcefully made the Cherokee Indians go into stockades at a place called Bayonet Point while their homes were robbed for their belongings. Then, they made the Cherokee walk more than a distance of 1,200 miles into the Indian Territory. During the trip plenty of problems happened. They encountered sicknesses such as dysentery typhus, and Whooping cough. Along with starvation becoming a widespread problem along the way. As a result, a large amount
