Seminole
Living Off the Land
By: Corban C.
The Seminoles traded a lot. The Seminole traded fur for hats
or clothing. When trading bows and arrows they wanted guns and bullets.
They traded with their neighbors the Spanish. They traded for coffee and other
white man items at the trading posts. Also they traded alligator hides and bee
wax.
Seminoles used bows and arrows. The bow string was made of twisted deer skin. The arrow feathers were glued on from melted deer antlers. It took strong men to make bows like that because they were hard to make.
The Seminole ate lots of food. They ate fish, deer and vegetables. Also the Seminoles ate cattle. They even had coffee. The tribe cooked in a huge fire pit. All the meat was shared with everybody in the tribe.
