Moore Award A history of the cultural tourism activities of the Florida Seminoles   In  the early twentieth century, the Florida Seminoles struggled to survive  in an environment altered by the drainage of the Everglades and a  dwindling demand for animal hides. This revised and expanded edition of The Enduring Seminoles, now updated with a new preface, discusses the  cultural tourism activities of the Seminoles over the decades that  followed.   By the 1930s almost all of the  Florida Seminole population was engaged in the tourist market. They  participated in fairs and expositions in Chicago, New York, and Canada.  In large commercial Seminole villages in Miami and Ocala, they sewed  brightly colored patchwork, wrestled alligators, and opened their  palm-frond chickees to the public. Their exhibition economy provided  income for families, and today, the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the  Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida promote their tourist activities  to worldwide markets.   Drawing on interviews  with many Seminoles and extending to the Seminole Tribe’s purchase of  the Hard Rock Café business in 2006, The Enduring Seminoles provides a colorful social and economic history of an unconquered people.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008123240721,"sku":"NIN9780813080666","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52627350946065,"sku":"NLS9780813080666","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813080665.jpg?v=1763120084"},{"product_id":"seminole-and-miccosukee-tribes-of-southern-florida-book-patsy-west-9781531609962","title":"Seminole and Miccosukee Tribes of Southern Florida","description":"The history of the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes dates back to the 1500s, when most of Florida as well as much of the United States was uninhabited.
