In the 1700s, Europeans dubbed the native Americans living in Florida the "Seminoles" the "wild ones." Three wars were fought in the 1800s to remove the native Americans from Florida, but the Seminoles survived and never signed a peace treaty. The unconquered Florida Seminoles adapted to life in the Everglades, eventually thriving in the modern world while preserving their cultural traditions.

The sunshine state has a rich and colorful history. For hundreds of years the state has attracted dreamers, opportunists, inventors and fortuneseekers. WGCU's Untold Stories aims to preserve the history of Southwest Florida communities.
