The Seminoles are an indigenous tribe of North America of the Muscogui linguistic family. Formerly they resided to the north of the peninsula of Florida. Currently they are divided into two groups. The most numerous live in Wevoka (Seminole County, Oklahoma) and the rest still live in Florida, in the reserves of Big Cypress Swamp / Swamp Great Cypress (the mikasuki), Brighton, Dania, Seminole and Tamiami Trail.
The Choctaw are an Amerindian nation of the Muskogi language, whose name can mean "descendants of Chacta", a mythological character. The Choctaw were one of the peoples that were grouped in the "Five Civilized Tribes". They lived on the banks of the Yazoo River (Lower Mississippi) and west of the Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers (central and southern Mississippi), in an area of 63,000 square miles. Currently, one group lives in seven reserves in the state of Mississippi (Redwater, Standing Pine, Pearl River, Tucker, Bogue Chito, Conehatta and Bogue Homa) with a total of 21,000 acres, some in Louisiana, and the rest in Oklahoma.
