During the Seminole Tribe’s Sports Hall of Fame ceremony on Feb. 7, 2006, President Moses Osceola, left, was joined by FSU football coach Bobby Bowden and Wetherell. Forging a stronger bond between FSU and the Seminole Tribe was one of Wetherell’s lasting accomplishments, which was highlighted in an article on FSU’s website. “…. as president, he advocated a closer relationship with the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The university created a Seminole history course, began a new tradition of tribe members participating in every commencement ceremony and unveiled a bronze statue at the University Center depicting a Seminole family during the wars of the 1830s. In 2005, the Seminole Tribe of Florida approved a historic resolution supporting the university’s use of the Seminole name and honored Wetherell with an invitation to the Big Cypress Reservation.” (Tribune file photo) FROG FINDING: Ahfachkee student Eli Hall may not have found any artifacts from 1855, but he found this cool frog and grub while looking for said artifacts during a THPO archaeological dig in Big Cypress.
