The Seminoles, or as they call
themselves, the “Unconquered People,” are descended from about 300 Indians who
were able to escape capture from the U.S. army during the 1800s. Today, over
2,000 live in 6 reservations located in Florida: Hollywood, Big Cypress,
Brighton, Immokalee, Ft. Pierce, and Tampa.
Many
live in Oklahoma in the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. According to their records,
they have around 17,000 members. The 2000 U.S. Census reveals that the Native
American (one race only) population is 4,328. In addition, the Native American
(one race or combination with other race) population is 5,485 in Seminole
County .
