On Monday, October 9, Mayor Daniella Levine Cava will join with the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida and local leaders to honor the inaugural Miccosukee Day in Miami-Dade County. Last month, the Miami-Dade County Commission passed a historic resolution that designates October 9, 2023, as Miccosukee Day, and every second Monday of every October thereafter as Indigenous Peoples Day. This underscores the County’s commitment to honoring the rich cultural heritage of the Miccosukee Tribe and recognizing their many contributions to the County.
About the Miccosukee Tribe:
The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida began as an independent tribal town along the banks of Lake Miccosukee in Leon County, with a range extending north through the Appalachians and south through the Florida Keys. During the Seminole Wars of the 1800s, most of the Miccosukee were removed to the West, but a group eventually found refuge in the Everglades. Throughout the next century, Miccosukee Leaders like its first Chairman, Buffalo Tiger, welcomed immigrants from throughout the Caribbean to the region, and went on to establish diplomatic ties with Miami-Dade County, the state of Florida, and eventually the Federal Government in 1962.
