Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Seminole Indian Museum, Native American museum in Big Cypress Indian Reservation, United States.
The Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Seminole Indian Museum is a museum on the Big Cypress Indian Reservation dedicated to Seminole people. It displays objects from different time periods: old tools, patterned clothing, photographs, and written records that document the history and life of this people.
The museum was founded in 1997 to preserve and share Seminole history. Later it received an important recognition when it became the first museum under tribal leadership to be acknowledged by a major museum organization.
The museum shows how Seminole people live today and pass down their ways to new generations. Visitors see craft work, clothing, and personal objects that explain how this culture remains active in the community.
The site has a walking path through a cypress forest where you can stroll and learn about the surroundings. It is good to check ahead about opening times and directions, since the location sits in a remote area.
A special area is a path through a swamp forest that shows how Seminoles used the plants and animals of the land. This nature trail helps visitors understand the environment where these people lived and how they worked with it.
