A social study of the Seminole and Miccosukee Indians of South Florida. After a brief history of their settlement in the early 1800s, the film presents the problems of housing, education, employment, and medical needs on the various reservations at 40-mile Bend, Brighton, Big Cypress, and Hollywood. Glimpses of schooling and headstart programs are shown, as well as views of the traditional and modern adaptations made by the Indians.
