When exactly did the people go to Indian Territory? How did they get there? How much land were they given and where was it located? were they covered by a treaty? How did the Seminole act during the Civil War? What happened afterward? How was land lost - to get to current size of reservation? What about oil being discovered in their territory in the early 20th century? What were the effects? Who gained the revenue? Parkwells (talk) 12:46, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Having this image as the sole representation of the group, especially with the specific, rather than general caption style seems odd, especially compared to other pages about tribal groups. The information is reproduced here so that eventually a multiple/combination picture can be made of various group members, and this can replace the flag, similar to pages for other groups.

All these folks are redlinked so I'm moving them here until their articles can be written. Ahalenia (talk) 17:42, 14 September 2017 (UTC)Ahalenia[reply]
