Land Acknowledgment Statement for Parks

Indigenous peoples of Florida include the Ais, Apalachee, Calusa, Creek, Miccosukee, Seminole, Tequesta, Timucua and Yemassee. Ancestors of these groups were Florida’s First People. Their interactions with European settlers and Florida Homesteaders led to their death, enslavement, or removal from native lands by these colonizers.  Present day Native Americans of South Florida include the Seminole and Miccosukee. The Seminole, who stewarded the park preserve as their hunting grounds, were subject to forced removal from this land under the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The park wishes to recognize and honor the Indigenous communities native to this region and acknowledge that Miami and the park occupy Indigenous homelands and resources. We venerate these individuals and groups, their ancestors and descendants, as past, present and future caretakers of this land.
