Society for Applied Anthropology - This society is very helpful for
people interested in applying the foundations of anthropology to problems
and situations around the world, and to influence public policy using
research. This year their annual conference was in Tampa, and
next year it will be in Memphis, Tennessee |

southeasternarchaeology.org/
Southeastern Archaeological Conference - This society webpage is useful
since it provides numerous links and other useful information to those
interested in pursuing a career in archaeology. Not a lot of amateur
or avocational archaeologists are members of this organization, but
members of the public, including students, are permitted to join.
An annual conference with a variety of lectures and posters
reflecting archaeology throughout the Southeast is always enjoyable,
and is in a different place each year. |

Ah Tah Thi Ki - Seminole Tribe This
web site provides general information about the museum as well as
some of the programs presented by its staff. The museum traditions
of the Seminole Indian Tribe. This year (2007) marks 50 years of independence
for the Seminole Tribe via federal recognition, following many generations
of difficult (at best) relationships with a variety of agencies even
before the devastating “Seminole Wars” of the 1800s. This
museum is really well done, and staff provide in-depth tours for groups
by arrangement. A short trail into the acreage surrounding the museum
site also is a must-see. The National Museum of the American Indian
in Washington DC also provides excellent information about Seminole
culture and history, but what we have here is a detailed view of that
history and lifestyle, with many more contributions from tribal members,
and local knowledge perfect for educating groups of all ethnic backgrounds.
This museum is well worth the drive, and you should plan to spend
the day in the area. |

Lost Worlds- This specific website relates information
about many sites of interest because of their historic significance
throughout the state. It was produced by a designer very interested
in anthropology as well as Native American history. The ultimate goal
of this project is to create an online interactive museum about the
history of this region. Unfortunately, this website is not updated
very often, so many of the links may not be current. |
