A three-alarm fire tore through parts of the Miccosukee Reservation in the Florida Everglades on Sunday night, destroying family homes, a community center where residents learned sewing and weaving at the Miccosukee Tiger Camp, and a traditional Chickee structure, as well as troves of art and artifacts. “The emotional and economic impact will be felt for some time, but the cultural significance that the Tiger Camp has on the history of our Community cannot be [overstated],” Chairman Talbert Cypress said in a statement shared with Hyperallergic. Khadijah Cypress, the artist who led the Creativity Center, emphasized the urgency of supporting displaced families by donating to the Tiger Camp Relief Fund.
