The older I get the more suspicious I am of any pre-packaged history. I spent some time today reading up on things I thought I already knew about the Seminole Tribe of Florida, before I wrote any more about it in my novel. Turns out I didn't know jack, had maybe 5% right of what I learned in just a cursory dig. The superficial "made for export" simplified storylines and profiles (physical appearance is one, too) are always presented by people with something to gain. I should know that by now.
