Miccosukee Resort & Gaming is a resort and casino on the western outskirts of Miami, Florida, off 500 Southwest 177th Avenue on the edge of the Everglades.[1] Located in a 9-story building, it has a colored statue of a young Miccosukee boy outside the front entrance.[2][3] It has been cited as 'one of the most unusual resort destinations in Florida' due to the contrast between the Native American village surroundings and the casino.[4] Established in 1999 at a reported cost of $45 million, it is operated by about 400 members of the Miccosukee Tribe.[5][6][7]
History of the Tribe[edit]
The proud Miccosukee tribe's history predates Columbus. Before Florida became part of the United States, the Miccosukee tribe migrated to there. They separated from the Creek Nation by doing so.[8]
In the 1800s, about 100 Mikasuki-speaking Creeks hid in the Everglades during the Indian Wars. Since then, the Tribe has expanded to more than 600 members and it continues to grow.[8]
In order to live in the Everglades, the Miccosukees had to adapt to living in small groups in temporary 'hammock style' camps. The Miccosukees stayed to themselves in the Everglades for about 100 years, resisting efforts to become assimilated until Tamiami Trail was built in 1928. In 1959, Buffalo Tiger led a group to Cuba to speak to Fidel Castro and obtain international recognition as a sovereign country within the United States. On January 11, 1962, the U.S. Secretary of the Interior approved the Miccosukee Constitution and the Tribe was officially recognized as the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida. This legally established the Miccosukees' tribal existence and their sovereign, domestic dependant nation status with the United States Government.[8]On March 6, 1971, the Miccosukee Corporation was formed to receive and administer funds from private foundations as well as county, state and federal agencies for a variety of educational, employment, housing and social programs for members of the Miccosukee community. The officers of the Corporation consist of a President, Secretary and a Treasurer. The Chairman of the General Council is also the President and the principal executive of the Corporation.[8]
