Description
Seminole Indian Village, Silver Springs, FL. Silver Springs is located in Ocala, FL. This location has been inhabited for thousands of years by Native people, including the Seminole Indians, and later by white settlers. In the 1930s, Ross Allen opened a reptile institute at the Silver Springs tourist attraction. Pedro Zepeda, Seminole Tribal member and Naples resident, reads Ross Allen's account of opening the Seminole Village at Silver Springs. Ross Allen's interview was conducted on November 11, 1970 by the University of Florida's Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. The second description comes from a former Ross Allen employee, Earl Debary. Earl describes the skills and knowledge of canoe builder Charlie Cypress. The last oral history comes from George Billie, Big Cypress Reservation resident and grandson of Charlie Cypress. In George's account, he shares the legend of Silver Springs as it was told to him by his grandmother.
