- The Miccosukee Tribe have lived in the Everglades for hundreds of years. They lived a life closely connected to nature, harvesting the rich bounty until their way of life was radically affected by Everglades destruction due to development, the sugar industry and negligence.
Betty Osceola, a Miccosukee elder, discusses the Miccosukee way of life and the value it still has for her family today and the richness that the Everglades offers for those still willing to live with nature and not against it. This video is an excerpt from Guardians of Our Troubled Waters, a film by David Weintraub and the Center for Cultural Preservation. Find more info and purchase the film at www.SaveCulture.org.
Music written and performed by Nancy Koerner.
I could listen to Betty Oceola speak forever.
Water is Life!

Beautiful people and culture, I am Bavarian, Nigerian, and a little Seminole and very proud of it. It's a shame what the times have done to the Indians and mother earth. When the white man came from Europe what should have happened was they needed to leave Europe behind completely and embrace the native culture. The Indians to this day still have the instructions of how to live on earth in the spiritual way, and if we all would have been living the Indian we could drink from any stream, have an abundance of game provided by Unci Maka. Unfortunately this did not happen in history and to this day Man continues to forget the instructions of the land as technology takes over our lives. I was definitely born and existing in the wrong time. No matter how much European teaching I have none of this feels natural to me.

Why do the pics of their ancestors show people that all all so very much darker skinned people than many of them are today?
Probably because the ones now are mixed with white whereas in the older pictures they were full blood
@@ratdog6317 , I guess racial categories are getting more and more blurry.
@@ratdog6317this is true but also the sun plays a huge role. Some indigenous cultures specially the nomad type tended to have darker skin because of the more regular sun exposure while tribes that inhabit forested area with shade or that had permanent settlements didnt get as much sun I’m half white half indigenous myself and depending on how much sun I get my skin tone varies from light brown to a yellowish dark brown shade
@@arislopes1924 yes this is true, I've seen tribes from areas with less sun or areas that are very cold where they have light skin despite not being mixed with white
The old generations lived more of their lives in the Sun.
