		The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida was formed in the 1960s by members of the Florida Seminole community who were unsatisfied with the Seminole Tribe of Florida; they were largely Mikasuki-speaking descendants of the Central Muskogee, as opposed to the majority of Seminoles who spoke Creek.

	Seminole Tribe in talks to end Cordish contract - baltimoresun.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Seminole Tribe of Florida, under fire from the IRS for building two hotel-casino complexes with tax-exempt bonds, is refinancing the projects with taxable bonds and trying to sever its ties with the developer and financial adviser who initiated the deal - Baltimore's David S. Cordish.
		The Seminoles say their decision to seek a buyout of Cordish's contract was based not on their tax problems but on the wild success of the two casinos that Cordish built for them, which seem certain to pay him - and the tribe - more money than they apparently anticipated.
		Since initiating its audit of the Seminole bonds, the IRS has opened at least eight similar audits, altering the nature of Indian financing across the country and sparking the ire of tribes that argue the government is being too restrictive of Indian bond issues.

	Tampabay: Seminole Tribe, ousted leaders settle lawsuit
		TAMPA -- The Seminole Tribe has agreed to settle a lawsuit that accuses ousted Chairman James E. Billie and his former handpicked administrator, Timothy W. Cox, of falsifying records to misappropriate $241,000 in sick pay.
		The two actions lessen the legal problems of Billie, who led the Seminole Tribe from 1979 until he was suspended without pay in May 2001, and of Cox, a onetime police officer who managed the affairs of the 2,800-member tribe until he was fired last year.
