Indigenous people have lived in Florida for more than 14,000 years, long before the European explorers and the settlers who journeyed to Florida arrived. Today, Florida is home to two federally recognized tribes the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians and Seminole Tribe of Florida. But throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, there were many tribes and other groups who lived throughout the state. But over the years, many of these more ancient tribes either merged and combined with other tribes, no longer exist due to conflict and exposure to disease, or moved or were removed from the area and now live in other parts of the country. In this episode, we'll take a look at two of Florida's native tribes and explore a little bit about their history and culture and how the Department works with Florida's tribes today.
