Description

The Florida Two Goldback celebrates the virtue “Fortitudo” (Fortitude), a tribute to the courage and strength of the Seminole people. This virtue was thoughtfully chosen in collaboration with staff members from the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum, reflecting the Seminole Tribe’s enduring legacy. Through unity and resilience, the Seminole people resisted forced removal during the Seminole Wars, seeking refuge in the Everglades and emerging as a thriving, self-determined community. Today, the Seminole Tribe embodies fortitude through cultural preservation, business leadership, and environmental stewardship. Their legacy, from owning Hard Rock International to advancing education and conservation, signifies innovation and harmony with nature.

In this artwork, a Seminole woman stands proudly in a traditional dugout canoe, an iconic vessel vital for navigating the sloughs of the Everglades. She embodies the enduring principle, “Navigate with purpose.” Her poised stance and steady paddle reflect balance and resilience as she journeys through waters that have sustained her people for generations. Behind her, a chickee hut—a raised, thatched structure ingeniously designed for Florida’s climate—symbolizes the Seminoles’ adaptability and deep connection to their environment.

Her attire pays homage to Seminole cultural heritage, featuring a vibrant two-tiered patchwork dress that celebrates artistry passed down through generations. The intricate beadwork of her loop necklace and the traditional bun in her hair highlight her cultural identity, honoring the legacy of Seminole craftsmanship and tradition. Every detail was meticulously researched, respecting and commemorating Seminole history and values.

The Everglades environment surrounding her brims with biodiversity, illustrating the Seminole people’s profound respect for nature. Native wildlife such as largemouth bass, bluegill, and the Eastern Box Turtle symbolize the richness of the ecosystem. The Roseate Spoonbill, with its striking plumage, represents the beauty and balance of the Everglades. The West Indian River Otter, known for its resourcefulness and social behavior, mirrors the adaptability and community spirit of the Seminole Tribe.

A manatee glides through the water nearby, embodying Florida’s conservation successes. Once endangered due to habitat loss and boating collisions, the manatee’s recovery showcases decades of environmental efforts. Habitat restoration, public awareness campaigns, and protective measures have played a critical role in preserving this gentle species. Today, the Seminole Tribe actively collaborates with conservation groups to protect the Everglades, ensuring a thriving ecosystem for future generations.

Above her, the radiant Florida sun shines brightly, signifying renewal, growth, and life, while reflecting Florida’s identity as the Sunshine State. Together, these elements celebrate the legacy of fortitude—strength, courage, and harmony with nature—shared by the Seminole people and the vibrant wildlife of the Everglades.
