Abstract
The 1992 Festival of American Folklife, held in Washington, D.C., featured an exhibit entitled "Maroon Culture in the Americas," in which members of maroon communities from the Caribbean, Mexico, and South Amer.. ica exhibited their crafts, foodways, and music and dance. Included among these representa.. tives was a contingent from the United States -the Texas Seminole Maroons-whose dis .. play proudly emphasized their historical rela.. tionship with the Seminole Indians and the crucial role played by their forebears in the opening of the southwest to white settlement.
