The Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum of the Seminole Tribe of Florida is proud to announce the opening celebration of its newest exhibition, Beautiful and Proud, honoring the extraordinary women who have held the title of Miss Florida Seminole. The event will take place on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, from 10 a.m. to noon at the museum, located on the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation.
Beautiful and Proud traces the history and cultural significance of the Miss Florida Seminole title, from the early days of the first appointed “Princess” and crowned “Seminole Queen” to today’s reigning titleholder.
The exhibition features rare photographs, personal artifacts, and archival footage, offering a powerful visual narrative of tradition, pride, and cultural identity. Visitors will also hear directly from former titleholders through recorded reflections that explore the impact and meaning of serving as Miss Florida Seminole.
The exhibit will be on view at the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum from May 22, 2025, through the summer of 2026.

Can we take a minute to talk about tribal sovereignty?
Our mission draws from the warrior spirit that has sustained Indigenous peoples for generations — the same spirit that drives us to stand guard over tribal rights through relentless investigation and fearless reporting.
Sovereignty isn't just a concept – it's the foundation of Native nations' right to govern, protect our lands, and preserve our cultures. Every story we publish strengthens tribal sovereignty.
Unlike mainstream media, we center Indigenous voices and report directly from Native communities. When we cover land rights, water protection, or tribal governance, we're not just sharing news – we're documenting our living history and defending our future.
Our journalism is powered by readers, not shareholders. If you believe in the importance of Native-led media in protecting tribal sovereignty, consider supporting our work today.
