 In the early 1800s Creek from Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina started to move into Florida.  The Spanish called them Cimarrones, which means lost ones, or runaways.  This was eventually changed to Seminoles.  When the now Seminoles moved into the Everglades they had to make changes to their homes.  They built structures out of wood and palm fronds with no walls and a raised floor.
