Seminole Tribe of Florida
Seminole Tribe Timeline
Look at a graphic or text only version of a Seminole timeline spanning history as far back as the early 1500s.
Introduction
The unique confluence of culture and circumstance which would become today’s Seminole Tribe of Florida can be traced back at least 12,000 years, say researchers.
Indian Resistance and Removal
In the early days of its existence, the fledgling United States government carried out a policy of displacement and extermination against the American Indians in the eastern US, systematically removing them from the path of “white” settlement. Until 1821, Florida remained under the control of the government of Spain but the US Territories of Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana were its covetous next-door neighbors. It was clear that the US wanted the Spaniards out of Florida and was willing to consider any means, including warfare, to acquire the rich land.
Osceola and Abiaka
Though his exploits were not as well publicized, Seminole medicine man Abiaka may have been more important to the internal Seminole war machine than Osceola.
No Surrender!
By May 10, 1842, when a frustrated President John Tyler ordered the end of military actions against the Seminoles, over $20 million had been spent, 1500 American soldiers had died and still no formal peace treaty had been signed.
Survival In The Swamp
The Seminoles began the 20th century where they had been left at the conclusion of the Seminole Wars – in abject poverty, hiding out in remote
camps in the wet wilderness areas of South Florida.
The Council Oak
A special generation of Seminole leaders – children of that last generation to hide in the swamps – began to meet regularly beneath a huge oak tree on the Hollywood reservation.
Seminoles Today
The Seminole Tribe of Florida has matured both politically and financially.
The Future
The challenge of maintaining the unique Seminole culture while operating in the mainstream economy is the priority for today’s Seminole Tribe of Florida.

Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale, Inc. & GoRiverwalk Magazine
Who is Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale?
Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale is a nonprofit 501(c)(3)organization responsible for the programming, beautification and promotion of Riverwalk Park. We are composed primarily of volunteer private citizens and overseen by a board of directors. All members uphold the organization’s directive, as stated in its mission statement, “to be the catalyst in building and nurturing Riverwalk as a vibrant community connected by the New River.” We pursue our mission through a wide range of fundraising and membership events and advocacy on behalf of the Park through our informative website and GoRiverwalk magazine.
Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale has its origin with the City of Fort Lauderdale. In December 1988, only three years after securing funding for a linear public park along the New River, the City established Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale to develop fundraising and advocacy efforts. Since its launch, we have played a significant role in obtaining a “regional park” designation from Broward County; guiding redevelopment and Park expansion efforts; and contributing to the three most recent City plans for enhancing the downtown core.Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale works closely with the City, the County, the Downtown Development Authority of Fort Lauderdale, and other important partners in the public and private sectors in overseeing the development, activation and growth for our linear park and downtown. It is through these partnerships that we work to produce events and activities benefiting the Park and the city. These events and activities have made Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale an invested participant in the growth of Fort Lauderdale and its downtown.
Publix Super Markets Inc.
Publix Culture
Publix aims to be a great employer. We hire associates who have a servant’s heart. We strive to build positive relationships with our customers and neighbors in our communities. We value giving back because we believe it’s our responsibility and our privilege. We are company owners.
Our founder, Mr. George, said, “Publix will be a little better place — or not quite as good — because of you.” Today, Publix is better and stronger because of what Publix associates have done and continue to do. We believe everything we’ve achieved is directly connected to our associates and the pride they take in their jobs and in how they support their communities. Our associates make a difference by volunteering to help meet the needs of many local organizations. When we support our neighbors, we also support each other.
Publix associates — past and present — make up the Publix family, and that is part of why Publix is so special. Mr. George believed it years ago, and we still believe it today — when you own something you tend to value it more and take better care of it.

Pat Anderson, Artist
Pat Anderson’s art combines detail and vibrant colors into an interesting new image of a subject. Her imagination, artistic experiences, and extensive island cruising with Capt. Pete, her late husband, have provided additional character and depth to her paintings.
Pat created and published “My Own Cruising Journal,” an actual journal of her artwork while cruising together on their yacht, in 1992, and expanded this cover design onto a variety of garments and merchandise.
In 1996, the large retail store named after My Own Cruising Journal opened in the upscale city of Lighthouse Point, FL. They expanded the business by selling several lines of tropical and marine clothing, gifts, and pieces of artwork.
Prints of the painting are available for sale on this website and Pat Anderson Artist Loft in “Latitiude 25” store in Islamorada in the Florida Keys. http://myowncruisingjournal.com
