My partner and spouse and I live near Tampa, Florida where she serves a Unitarian Universalist church, I serve the Treasure Coast Unitarian Universalist Church on the Atlantic Coast of Florida about 160 miles away. We travel back and forth taking on days off. My residence near Stuart is a community called Indiantown. Photos from the collection of the Canadian Museum of History. I was inspired to post this morning by a new blog (see below.)
Indiantown had a large Seminole Population at one time, but at present most of the people who live in Indiantown are Mayans who work in Florida as farmworkers and grounds keepers for institutions, country clubs, and more affluent residents.
I have been to celebrations of the Maya, different from the Cherokee. But of the same indigenous spirit.
A new blog by Hafidha Sofia posts a reflection on the Maya. Congratulations and good luck to Hafidha on her new blog
Thank you, Clyde. And thank you for the link to the museum.
