Hello, October!

Welcome!
First, we would like to thank everyone who helped with Seminole Days 2023. Ths year was incredibly special. and it wouldn't have happened without the help of several volunteers who are dedicated to making sure that everything we do is successful.

Following Seminole Days, we felt it was important to continue to connect with everyone. One of the ways that we can do this is virtually, so the idea of having a monthly lecture series was presented. This is a way to continue to discuss matters that pertain to Black Seminoles, whether it is through history or current events, on a more regular basis. We hope that we can forge a stronger connection through these events.

Monthly zoom lecture presentation:
inaugural presentation
​Dr. Wallis tinnie & Mr. victor norfus

Dr. Wallis Hamm Tinnie, granddaughter of the late Seminole Florence Ealer Jones Hamm, is a native of West Palm Beach, Florida.  Dr. Tinnie’s grandmother Florence left her native home in the village of Mikasuki on the edge of Tallahassee, Florida, to go to Tampa, Florida; later, she married James Hamm and went to West Palm Beach with her husband in the second decade of the Twentieth Century. Their union included seven children, one of whom was Dr. Tinnie’s father. 

Dr. Tinnie has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Florida A and M University, a Master of Arts from the University of Florida, and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Iowa.  Dr. Tinnie serves as  President of Florida Black Historical Research Project, Inc., a Florida non-profit organization founded by her late cousin, Isa Hamm Bryant, a Seminole Maroon descendant who was one of the driving forces behind the reclamation of Loxahatchee River Park as a Battlefield site in Jupiter, Florida..

Dr. Tinnie is a retired College Professor and former Protocol Officer of the City of Miami.  As a long-time cultural programmer, she was one of the chief organizers of Miami’s Annual Pan African Bookfest and Cultural Conference spearheaded by the African American Caribbean Cultural Arts Commission which she co-founded.

As president of Florida Black Historical Research Project, Inc., Dr. Tinnie has worked diligently, with the help of family members and others, for the last 15 years to continue the work of honoring the sacred site of her ancestors, work begun by her cousin, Seminole Maroon descendant, Isa Hamm Bryant.

Cha Chi’s Village:
Revisiting the Historiography of the Seminole Wars
 
In the case of the Seminole Wars, a wealth of emerging information that might have been previously hidden, forgotten, denied, ignored, misrepresented or misunderstood not only adds to our knowledge, but, even more importantly affects how we interpret what we learn.  What we think we know is based on our cultural presumptions about what is important and why. This presentation questions many of the accepted modes for interpreting and presenting Seminole Wars history, suggesting re-presenting this history through the perspectives, purposes, and priorities of history in the Seminole maroon experience.
