Learn about one of our native cultures in Florida at the Miccosukee  Resort & Gaming facility in south Miami. The Miccosukee Indian Tribe invites you to its FREE "Celebrate American Indian Day" celebration.  Come and observe, learn about, and share the heritage, way of life and customs of the Miccosukees and Native American Tribes throughout the country.  You may watch a Miccosukee Fashion Show, watch jaw-dropping alligator wrestling, explore genuine Indian arts and crafts, and enjoy Native American music and dancers.  The unsurpassed craftsmanship you will discover in multi-colored Miccosukee patchwork, beadwork and jewelry can be admired at the festival as well as purchased.  Cap off your visit with a tour through the Everglades on an Airboat ride which is fun for the entire family!
