		The Battle of Royal Palm Hammock, which was fought by Miccosukee and Seminole Indians versus U.S. Army soldiers is reenacted on or near the spot of its historic location at the Collier-Seminole State Park, during the Native American and Pioneer Festival on Sunday.
		Ralph Smith, an assistant park manager at Collier-Seminole and a descendant of fl Seminoles, noted how the Battle of Royal Palm Hammock had a similar ending—in favor of the Seminoles—to many encounters between natives and U.S. soldiers during the Third Seminole War, which was fought to remove all remaining Seminoles to the Arkansas Territory.
		Led by the cocky and defiant Chief Billy Bowlegs, the Seminoles fought hard to retain their reservation lands in the fertile Everglades which was given to them by the U.S. government after the Second Seminole War.
