Today was the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum's 15th Anniversary.
In honor of this occasion, the Museum hosted a big celebration for the community. It was great to see the support of the Tribe and the Chairman, who used to live in a camp where the Museum now stands, told stories about the site years ago and why it was important for the Tribe to create a museum.
We enjoyed both traditional and non-traditional food. Gar fish or hot dogs anyone? And don't forget the fry bread and sofkee, a warm thick drink made from corn. We even all dressed up for the celebration, which for most of my co-workers is a drastic change from their snake boots and field shirts
It was nice to get out of the office for awhile, even if it 100 degrees outside!

I love to see the Seminole patchwork. Did you get the gar fish?
