Spotlight on the Seminole Tribune
Over the years, the Seminole Tribune and its predecessors have immortalized the rise of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. With the first newspaper published not long after federal recognition, it has witnessed decades of Seminole history. Not only that, but the community-oriented focus has made it an archive of the triumphs of so many Tribal Members over the years. From graduations, art installations, sports achievements, first businesses, poetry contests, and more, the Tribune has reported not only on the news, but the beat of the community itself across all reservations. This week, we trace the Seminole Tribune back to its roots in the first fledgling printing of the Seminole Indian News to the Tribune of today. We also look back on the incredible archive that past Tribune articles, photographs, and other resources offer to Seminole history. In our featured image, you can see a newspaper clipping from the Miami Herald, October
