Untold Stories

In the series of Untold Stories, both the Seminole Indian tribe and the pioneers are represented. When I compare Immokalee to Tampa which is where I grew up it is clear to see that is is very different. Immokalee is built much more upon agriculture which a lot has to do with being so close to the Everglades. But even besides that, the town is heavily populated with Seminole Indians unlike where I grew up in. After I watched the video I was unable to classify whether or not Imokalee would be considered the "new" or "old" American Dream. I feel like they have their own classification. Yes, they are going through many changes but it is almost like they are isolated somewhat from the rest of the United States and have a little of their own culture. It is clear to see that agriculture will continue to be a profit and with the success of the casino's the Seminole's will continue to prosper. In time, I believe that Immokalee will change somewhat with the times but they will continue to live life on their own terms.
