"This study will compare two North American Indian tribes, the Seminoles and the Apaches. The study will consider their origins, culture and lifestyles, religions, family structures, use of medicines, enemies and allies, and land issues.
With respect to the origins of the Seminoles, we discover that they were originally a part of the Creek Indians in the early 18th century, when they settled in what had formerly been the territory of the Apalachees in Florida. They grew in numbers and strength, drawing runaway slaves into their fold, along with remaining Apalachees. They were ruled by the Spanish as the nation of the United States began to be formed, and as such they fought regular battles with American troops then and into the 19th century. One treaty called for them to move west, but their chief Osceola refused, leading to the eight-year Seminole War ..."

Abstract
This paper summarizes James W. Covington's "The Seminoles of Florida", a book providing insights to the Seminoles, or the Native American people who are indigenous to Florida. The author provides a short history of the Seminoles and recounts the culture and way of life of the Seminoles in the late 18th century to early 19th century. The paper also discusses how the Seminoles have tried to retain their Native American ways. The author praises Covington for his description of how the Florida Seminoles have developed a workable economy and maintained their identities and recommends this book for anyone who would like a well-rounded background on this Native American tribal unit.
From the Paper
"Many historians believe that the Seminoles are unique, because they protected numerous runaway slaves. This integration of the African-Americans slaves into the Native-American culture is of considerable interest. Whereas, these slaves were literally considered non-humans to many Americans, they were accepted by these Native Americans, which had a very different culture. As Covington noted, the Seminoles' idea of slavery was very different than that of the whites. Although it was accurate that the Seminoles had their own slaves before blacks arrived in Florida in large numbers, these were most often war captives who usually fulfilled the labor demands of those warriors who had died in battles."

Abstract
This paper examines the origin of the Black Seminoles; a unique American population made up of American Indians and runaway black slaves. It describes how the Black Seminoles changed over time and how their culture reflected both African and Seminole elements.
From the Paper
"The Black Seminoles began in the early 1800s in the most remote and swamplike parts of Florida, places in the state where runaway black slaves believed that they might be safe from those who were looking to reclaim them as their property. While some blacks did try to escape to the North, this was an especially difficult task for slaves beginning in Florida: The Mason-Dixon line was a very long way off from Florida and many slaves believed that they would be recaptured or killed if they tried to make it all the way to the North. Thus they fled south, into the swamps where the Seminole Indians often took them in."
