The Seminole are a group of Native American people from Florida. Today, many Seminole people live in different groups across Florida and Oklahoma.
The Seminole Nation began in the 18th century, when many groups of Native Americans came together in Florida. Much of Seminole culture comes from the Muscogee (Creek) people from Georgia and Alabama, who made up a large part of the Seminole Nation when it was formed.
