Photos: FSU students volunteer with Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum at annual American Indigenous Arts Celebration

A group of Florida State University students traveled to the Big Cypress Seminole Reservation in South Florida Nov. 1-2 to volunteer at the annual American Indigenous Arts Celebration (AIAC). The event, hosted by the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum, celebrated Native American Heritage Month and featured Seminole and Indigenous art, music, food, dance and more.

The festival provided the group of 20 FSU student volunteers the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich culture and traditions of the Seminole Tribe of Florida (STOF) while connecting and engaging with the community on a personal level.
