Dear Editor,
I live here in Orlando and I attended the Denver March Pow-Wow on March 19–21 I had permission to sit next to the arena during a grand entry. I took a picture of the Seminole Princess and wanted you to see it.
I'm sure you will have other pictures of her, but I wanted you to have mine also. I have other pictures of the Pow-Wow if you would care to see them. It was an incredibly beautiful, large, and enjoyable Pow-Wow.
I met many, many nice people and can't wait to see them again. I have always attended Pow-Wows here in Florida, but ventured out to Denver, Colo. There were 73 drums, 90-plus princesses, and 1,729 dancers, not including the color guards or tiny tots. I have never seen that many Natives in one place before. Imagine how Custer must have felt (hahaha), except that he was afraid. I was in my element.
I receive The Seminole Tribune and enjoy it immensely. There are always happy, good, heartwarming stories in your paper. Have a great day and I would love to visit you and your reservation if you would allow me to.
Thank you,

Dear Editor,
Thank you for giving our class a tour of the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki museum. We really
enjoyed the movie, learning about how the Seminole Indians used to live off
the land, and going on the boardwalk and seeing the Seminole camp.
It was really interesting. The medicinal plants and culture was something we
didn’t know about before and thought was neat to learn about. Our gratitude
once again.
Sincerely,
Yienajye, Captain Prouty III, Lindsey, Robin, Liz Helaner, Kaila Fong, John,
Kenny, Ivina, Evan, Princess Alycia Esq., Evan, Bal.
Dear Editor
Hello there! I am a 4th grade teacher at Palm Beach Public in West Palm Beach,
Fla. I am interested in finding out if there is a Seminole Indian that would
come to my class to speak about Florida history and the Seminole Indian tribe.
Do you have speakers that will go to classrooms?
Thank you for your help in answering this question.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Strohl
Palm Beach Public
