Press release:
SAFETY HARBOR, FL: On June 30, 2007, at 10: 00 a.m. an Internment Ceremony will be held at the Safety Harbor Museum of Regional History, 329 Bayshore Blvd. South, Safety Harbor, FL. The general public is invited to observe. This ceremony is in fact a reburial of human remains culturally affiliated with the Seminole Nation. The remains are from the Weedon Island Period (AD 200-400), which is the time period during which the Tocobaga Indian Tribe inhabited this region.
The ceremony will be performed by the Spirit People Intertribal Family which is a multi-tribal family consisting of members representing tribes from across North America, Canada, and South America. Their focus is teaching the community about the diverse history, culture, traditions and ways of the old ones. We should remember that our Tampa Bay area was first inhabited approximately 10,000 – 12,000 years ago.
Following a short private ceremony due to the significance of spiritually returning the person back to earth and into the world that they now reside in, the public will be invited to celebrate and honor all indigenous peoples and their ancestors.
