E-Mail to the EditorDear Seminole Marketplace, I belong to a Sasha Doll Club and we held a three-day festival in Ft. Lauderdale in June of 2004. I have read Betty Mae Jumper’s book “Legends of the Seminoles” and in it is the legend of the Corn Lady. At the festival, I gave away a helper gift, “The Corn Lady” video, which I purchased at the Seminole marketplace online, along with a few other gifts. We would like to thank Betty Mae Jumper because the Sasha Festival was a great success [Editor’s note: please see the letter below]. Sincerely, Laura Ramshead Dear Bette Mae Jumper, The Sasha festival was a huge success! The ladies who put on the festival had made Seminole outfits for the dolls. I had put together a folder on the Corn Lady with a little story on you, and from the book “Legends of the Seminoles” a copy of the Corn Lady from the book. I also included a crocheted pattern for a Corn Lady potholder. These were donated on your behalf along with the video “Legends of the Seminoles.” The lady who won the video sent me a note for you to read [Editor’s note: please see the letter below]. I have the cassette tape and I am enjoying it very much, especially the Corn Lady. I just wanted to thank you again from the bottom of my heart! Sincerely, Laura Ramshead Hi Laura, I won the wonderful tape of Seminole stories, and it was the one item I wanted. I was so happy when I won and have really enjoyed it so much. As a child I never went to Florida, but I knew of the Seminole people. My Aunt Hazel would bring back postcards with all the colorful cloths, and my friend even had a doll. I have, for as long as I can remember, wanted to meet a Seminole and that happened this year for all of us when we came to Florida. The tape just means that I can have a part of that at home with me to see and enjoy anytime. On the tape you can see children, both Seminole and non-Seminole. If I, as a child, had gone to Florida that could have been me with all those other children; what fun. Please pass on how much this tape of stories means to me. I love the Corn Lady story the best. Thank you so much, Alexis Dear Editor, Hi, I hope you can help me. I was looking at the sofkee recipe on your website and I am a little confused it has baking soda in the recipe list, and in the instructions it has to add teaspoon of baking powder? Which one do you use? Thanks for your time Have a great day, Cherie Dear Cherie, You should use baking soda, not baking powder. Sincerely, Seminole Marketplace Dear Editor, I am the director of The Kidzeum, a children’s museum in Grenada Elementary School, Grenada, Miss. We are preparing for an exhibit about Seminoles, and have built a chickee house for our students to visit. I know that child will ask why it’s called a chickee house, and I can’t find the answer anywhere. Can you help, please? Thanks so much, Eloise Portera, Director The Kidzeum Grenada Elementary School Dear Eloise, Chickee means house in the Miccosukee language. Sincerely, Seminole Marketplace |
