‘Space Age Indians’ host art festival

Space Age Indian. That’s the title of a new album by Miccosukee Indian brothers Steve and Lee Tiger. It also represents the way of life of the modern Indian in Florida. Examples of how the South Florida Indians have melded their ancient cultures with modern day life abound at the Second Annual Indian Art Festival presented by the Miccosukee Tribe. The Tiger Brothers will perform at the festival, which continues through Saturday, Jan. 1, singing their original songs which combine age-old Indian moods with modern music. There’ll be an Indian fashion show with traditional Indian designs paired with modern and traditional materials. And don't forget the food. Traditional fried pumpkin bread is made easy to prepare with modern canned pumpkin. (See page 24 for Indian recipes you can make at home.) The festival will also have numerous displays of Indian artifacts and handiwork done in the old way. Miccosukee Indians will wrestle alligators, and there will be airboat rides through the Everglades. Admission is $3.50 for adults and $1.50 for children at the gate at the Miccosukee Indian Village and Cultural Center, on Tamiami Trail, about 27 miles west of Florida International University. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Baskets, paintings and wood sculptures from many Indian tribes, part of the federally sponsored "One with the Earth" collection, will be on display at the Miccosukee Art Festival, along with many other artifacts. Below, Miccosukee Indians Steve and Lee Tiger receive an official proclamation from Dade County Mayor Steve Clark designating December 26 through January 1, Miccousukee Indian Art Festival Week.
