E-Mail to the Editor

Dear Editor,

Unlike our high paid federal officials in FEMA, in typical Seminole tradition, you stepped up immediately to help your cousins in Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. You deserve all the thanks and respect of everyone who lives and works in Indian country.

Sincerely,

Dear Editor,

Can you please direct me to who I could try an obtain information on my grandfather and family that lived on the reservation back in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Also, other family members resided there. I am trying to put together a family history tree for my children to pass on.

The name of my Grandfather was Charles (Charlie Knight) born in 1880. He sold Indian herbs as his occupation. We do have a peddler’s license he was issued to sell Indian herbs. He was Creek Indian and moved from Alabama to Florida. His Fathers name was Jackson Knight. Charlie also went by the names Lonewolf, Hopping John, Hopie, and other names. His brother Jack Knight also lived for sometime we believe also on the reservation Jack Knight.

I can provide other members of the family names, but need direction on who can help me locate this information. Any info would greatly be appreciated!

Kindest Regards,
Kathryn McAlister

Dear Editor,

I am interested in organizing with individuals and groups in the Tampa area who may be sympathetic toward veterans and others currently and or formerly utilizing urban survival skills. My interests are in highlighting the stark contrast between traditional hunting gathering cultures and the instinctive need to explore or actualize oneself as a participant in this sort of lifestyle.

I am interested in finding out if the Seminole Tribe has a Veterans Community that might accept questions from an outsider on topics related to these.

Thanks so much,
D.F. Hunt
