Cultural Activities

The Cultural Activities section of the Resident Services Department works with tribal members by reconnecting those members with their acestral roots.

The Cultural Activities Program consists of the following:

1. Seminole Language Classes - Seminole Language Classes are introductory courses to the Nation's native tongue. Participants learn basic dialogue and idioms to revive a sense of pride and thus, extend the language through word of mouth.
2. Passing the Nation to the Youth - The ultimate goal of this series of meetings is to preserve the Seminole history by incorporating that history with the Tribe's youth. Attending youth learn the history and hear stories of the Seminole Nation from the mouths of those who lived it. Bringing the elderly and younger generations together ensures to pass Seminole heritage on to the future.
3. Food Distribution Program - The Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) is a Federal program that provides commodity foods to low-income households, including the elderly, living on Indian reservations, and to Native American families residing in designated areas near reservations and in the State of Oklahoma.
