I'm 71 years old and grew up in South Florida. I can remember Seminoles selling their handmade trinkets at the farmer's market on Congress Ave. in West Palm Beach back in the 1950's. The last time I had contact with them was in the 90's when I attended several of their "Fire On The Swamp" country music festivals at the Big Cypress Reservation. They were living well off their citrus, cattle, and tourism. I hope they always prosper. God bless 'em!

It's meant to be sarcastic, it's meant to show dubious "development", he's not really in favor of it either. Great job industrialized west, ruined air, water destroyed food and animals and destroyed Indian way of life, now everyone is politically correct or and outright brutal criminal, wonderful industrialized world

Ugh... and showing a shot of young Seminole children at a lunch table, praising the government for improving their diet... The colonists pushed them out of their traditional lands, completely gorged on game populations, and then cited any instance of poverty as evidence of their "inferiority." The violence has never ended against indigenous communities.

I couldn't imagine how good the fishing was back then a a couple centuries ago! Even today the bream are super plentiful. When I was a kid to tell if they were biting I'd spit in the water if one hit it you knew they were there. And I had a trick for fishing in super clear water just walk through it and kind of muddy it up.way they can't see your line.
