Miccosukee Day/Opening Reception for Sharing the Path
2025-10-13 11:00 - 16:00 | Museum of the Everglades, 105 Broadway Ave W, Everglades City, FL, 34139, United States
On Monday, October 13th – the nationally celebrated holiday of Indigenous People’s Day – Museum of the Everglades will open of our new “Sharing the Path” exhibit. Normally closed on Mondays, we saw this day as an opportunity to reinforce our commitment to sharing the history and culture of South Florida’s Native peoples.

In light of the greater Everglades community’s long history of learning from, working together with and welcoming this region’s native residents, it seems only fitting to celebrate those partnerships on this day.

Join us as we respectfully recognize the continuing contributions of the Miccosukee and Seminole people to the preservation of the Everglades, acknowledge their historical presence in our region and express gratitude for the knowledge and wisdom they have shared with us. Enjoy and engage with our new exhibit and explore the possibilities for a better future offered by integrating traditional indigenous knowledge.

In this companion lecture to Sharing the Path, Museum Manager Thomas Lockyear will explore the ways in which partnerships with our region’s indigenous people have shaped our understanding of and relationship with what has been described as “one of the harshest environments on earth” — both historically and in present day.
Mr. Lockyear will also discuss the evolution of the exhibit as well as the Museum’s 2023 collaboration with the Miccosukee Tribe on the We Are Still Here exhibit that shared their history from their own perspective. The talk will also include stories of successful historic partnerships and other lessons from the past as well as our blueprint to build better strategies for the future based on traditional indigenous knowledge.
