I'm 71 years old and grew up in South Florida. I can remember Seminoles selling their handmade trinkets at the farmer's market on Congress Ave. in West Palm Beach back in the 1950's. The last time I had contact with them was in the 90's when I attended several of their "Fire On The Swamp" country music festivals at the Big Cypress Reservation. They were living well off their citrus, cattle, and tourism. I hope they always prosper. God bless 'em!
And god bless you too
Thank You for the info!!! A new place to visit!!!!
Lotta memories at the farmers market wpb.
almost 75 years old wow, youtube is the one good thing about modern technology we get to see real footage of our beautiful planet from so long ago, i’m 19 an live in south florida so this is just so wholesome to see
I'm glad you can see it, truly a gift!
Yep.
Lies
Theres nothing “wholesome” to see the effects of colonizers relocating native people for their own selfish financial gains.
@@geniusjones4234 What? Do you dare to question the "genius of the white man"?
The narrator really said "each years thousands of acres succumb to the white man's genius"
It's meant to be sarcastic, it's meant to show dubious "development", he's not really in favor of it either. Great job industrialized west, ruined air, water destroyed food and animals and destroyed Indian way of life, now everyone is politically correct or and outright brutal criminal, wonderful industrialized world
Ugh... and showing a shot of young Seminole children at a lunch table, praising the government for improving their diet... The colonists pushed them out of their traditional lands, completely gorged on game populations, and then cited any instance of poverty as evidence of their "inferiority." The violence has never ended against indigenous communities.
I noticed that too and immediately thought, "white man's ignorance"
He was talking about Disney.
also don’t you love the cig ad sponsor!? 😳 you can tell it’s very old
Well, this was really interesting, but I cringed at how they romanticed forcing a totally new culture on the Seminole.
If you think that alligator is 'sluggish' you are greatly mistaken.
an interesting snap-shot. teaches us more about society than initially intended
Yes, exactly.
Y'know, I admit, when I clicked on this video, I was expecting it to be cringe, but after watching the entire thing, it turns out that it's actually even more cringe than I expected. Thank you, Old Gold Cigarettes, for your authentic depiction of the white man's genius.
@@MarcillaSmithyoure spewing your white guilt everywhere and it is giving me second hand embarrassment. Please stop
John Horse, also known as Juan Caballo, Juan Cavallo, John Cowaya and Gopher John, was a man of mixed African and Seminole ancestry who fought alongside the Seminoles in the Second Seminole War in Florida.
BLACK HISTORY 👊🏽
I grew up in Hollywood Fl right near the reservation and can remember how bad conditions were there as a kid. It nice to see how much things changed for them. No more rundown sad looking homes
I see what you're saying but if you really want to look at their original culture their conditions were historically " bad. Because they lived in the swamps and jungles of Florida for hundreds of years so what you were calling bad that doesn't mean anything to these people That's how they live. Making fires making their own shelters out in the swamps crafting their own tools and their own clothing out of what they could catch in the swamps and the vegetation and plant life all around them...
"the rare sandhill crane" Today flocks of those things fly over Florida all winter and I've walked right past them standing beside the sidewalk at a shopping center in Gainesville.
Well they are rare, Florida is one of the few hotspots & many don’t migrate out of state.
@@Alex-th9tw My point was that 50 years ago they were still critically endangered, now the damn things are annoying there are so many.
Everytime I go fishing I literally have to fend off dozens of them , they like to gang up on me to steal my catch .
My town (Deltona) is infested with the little buggers.
@@MITCHY_B_2003yooo I'm from Deltona don't live there currently but yeah I remember them and their squawk every morning
@Alex-th9tw um in kentucky they hunt them and call em ribeye of the sky. From remote Florida and was always to respect and admire them so this favt shocked me when i got here
Inedible!? Garfish are a delicacy amongst the Seminole & Miccosukee.
And they roast them whole on the fire.
I was going to say
they are truly a delicacy in Tabasco and Chiapas México
He talking about the scales
Are the eggs of garfish deadly and extremely cancerous to human health? The old Americans always told us that they are very, very poisonous.
You caught that to, I love gar
Old Gold cigarettes and Lorillard tobacco sponsored. Interesting. They talk like beef is new- The Alachua herd was managed by the Seminoles , a very large herd made up lof Cracker cows, left behind by the Spanish.Also native Seminole food is quite nutritious
I couldn't imagine how good the fishing was back then a a couple centuries ago! Even today the bream are super plentiful. When I was a kid to tell if they were biting I'd spit in the water if one hit it you knew they were there. And I had a trick for fishing in super clear water just walk through it and kind of muddy it up.way they can't see your line.
The comments make the package. This is a great snapshot and tells a lot more then PBS shows of the present. My Mom smoked Old Gold.
This Video was interesting thanks for sharing❤
the seminole world was the world with no climate disaster. cover the ground in concrete, you choke the soil of its natural process.
Great stuff.
im not seminole but some of these men look so much like my dad when he was young
9:45 smoke um if you got um. 'softens the heart'
But blackens the lungs.
Yay
Happy Black History Month. The Soul Committee Alliance. NYC
Great people of the past !!❤️
impressive that they filmed all of those Sasquatch @1:49
Haha! Yes!
I haven’t seen cigarette adv on Tv since I was 7-8 yrs
do they forced them to cut their hair in 1949?¿
All the way up to the 90s, it’s more recent than you know
I wonder who narated this video.
House Jameson
the same voice that narrates all old films! 😂
Gar taste amazing certainly not inedible
Id imagine when your hungry even rats would be a delicacy.😊
@@buzz5969 have you tried gar?
He has business in the White man's world, interesting way of putting it.
It's called adapting to an ever changing world. They took generational teachings and used the new technology to bring prosperity, over coming and not being a "victim "
This narrator is crazy.
Why? Because much of this is true regardless of who wants to pretend it isnt.
I think only the French eated frog legs 😁😁 And also have come to my mind that the tobaco is like a kind of indian revenge to the white world for the carnage thay have had to suffer
Who's gonna tell him they smoke it more in terms of population
We frog gigged growing up in Florida in the 80s. Still ate gator too.😊
you can't eat garfish?!
U can
🪶🏹🌽✊🏾
15:50 His greed not genius. Reaping and sowing has been done since man was created.
WOW! Sounds like a Nazi propaganda film!
My thoughts exactly. Like „hey, look how nice we made the gettos and KZ for you, there is even an orchestra - you‘re welcome“.
Story telling fairytales dates back centuries.
Wait... This film must have been generated on supercomputers using CGI back then as a Smithsonian plot..
Whitewashed... Where all the Black people?
They're not White or Black, they're Amerindians.
😂😂😂 cgi yeah this is about the NDN’s not the white people
I do not live like this anymore. I do not like people trying to force me to, either. God has more for me, now.
Bullshit. Neon signs are awesome.
Truth hurts doesn’t it??
Sometimes when its not what you expected it would be😊
How is seminoles "meaning black" all of a sudden white????
Don't believe everything you read or hear Seminole natives were never black they only got black ones after slaves ran away from their masters and interbred.
@@casof97 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭 Seminole means black
@@jammiematthews3553 it comes from the word for "runaway", they were derived from other pieces of tribes in the area, such as the Creek, as well as escaped slaves. My source;
dos.myflorida.com/florida-facts/florida-history/seminole-history/
Chris your information in not correct there where many black Seminoles even before black slaves to escape to north Florida.
@@williammckinney567 They were dark skinned not african except for runaway slaves who were accepted into the tribe
What a mouthful of bs
It’s funny how they try not to show the black people only these Chinese mixed Indians every turn every where there is evil waiting for us black people unless we wake up and unite and move from all these people and fight for our repair!
