A very cool vintage card featuring Hiptenea Osceola and her baby brother, Conapatchee. They are Seminole, and the photo was taken in the Florida Everglades , near Miami . It was likely originally a black-and-white photograph that was later hand-coloured. The sender is from Stuart , a small town in southern Virginia with a population of about 1,400 people. It was first known as Taylorsville in 1792, named in honour of an early settler. In 1884, it was renamed Stuart to honour J. E. B. Stuart , a Confederate major general who was born nearby.

On the back of the card it reads:: Robert Eagle's Heart Prairie Chief in typical Cheyenne attire living in Western Oklahoma in Clinton. The majority of the Oklahoma Cheyennes are still found in this area today. This card comes from a librarian in Tulsa. She found this card at a flea market. She mentions the Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears was a forced displacement and ethnic cleansing of about 60 000 peoples of the "Five Civilized Tribes" and their black slaves between 1830 and 1950 by the United States Government.  Cherokee ( Aniyvwiya) , Muscogee ( Mvskoke) , Seminole, Chicksaw ( Chikashsha),  and Choctaw ( Chahta)  nations were forcibly moved to the new designated Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River as a result of the Indian Removal Act in 1830. The relocated people suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route to their destinations or shortly thereafter.
