November is Native American Heritage Month, and in observance, the Museum of the Everglades Third Thursday series will focus on the Seminole and Miccosukee Tribes with guest speaker Betty Osceola, environmental educator and member of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians. Osceola will talk about the indigenous population’s spiritual connections to the land and their determination to honor, protect, and defend it as sacred ground – the Seminole and Miccosukee have long been stewards of the Everglades.

Osceola received the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Defender of the Everglades award in 2024, is a tribal judge and has appeared in documentary films and television shows.

Make plans to come to “Defending the Sacred,” on Thursday, November 20th from 2:00 – 3:00 PM. Museum of the Everglades, 105 West Broadway Avenue, Everglades City, FL 34139.
