Abstract:
Annie Jumper Tommie uses a mortar and pestle to make cornmeal, while her son, Tony Tommie, wears a Plains Indian eagle feather bonnet. Cory Osceola is seated immediately to Tony Tommie's left. The Miami Chamber of Commerce staged a publicity event, Forward to the Soil, to promote sales of reclaimed land, and which took place on the Roselawn Tract, near Hialeah. Without tribal consent, Musa Isle headman Tony Tommie participated in the ceremony, made peace and handed over the Everglades to whites. The rest of the tribe and the U.S. government did not recognize his actions. ( en )
