Tribal Celebration
Enjoy indigenous Florida culture with the Miccosukee.
By Greg Baker
Published on December 20, 2007
Maybe it’s good that the Miccosukee nation is gaining recompense from its oppressors at their big casino on Krome Venue. But it has that many people equating Indians with gambling. At the annual Miccosukee Indian Arts Festival, a more realistic view of native culture will fill souls and bellies.
Enjoy the spectral moving rainbow of dancers representing many tribes and the Miccosukee patchwork fashion shows. Alligators will be wrestled and airboats passengered. Plus there’ll be food (the frybread stuffed with spicy beef is as addictive as oxycontin), and all the other attendant wonders of daily Glades life — as well as games, goods, and cultural displays. Oh yeah, and there’ll be plenty of fine art offered by vendors from diverse Native American tribes. You can bet on that. The festivities continue through January 1 from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Admission costs $10 for adults, $7 for children. The location is roughly 27 miles west of the turnpike on the Tamiami Trail.
