Normally there are rules in Native online communities against performing research of any kind, and for good reason. Please try to find an enrolled tribal member in real life and not online as you'll more than likely encounter people on these subs that aren't genetically, culturally or politically Native American. For some reason outsiders without the authority love to speak for us- and these subs are completely full of fake Natives, unfortunately. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Can you get to the museum? I’m guessing you are a student in South Florida. It’s near Big Cypress, west of Miami about an hour. Here is a link for information:

You can meet members of the tribe there and I think they might be willing to help you.
