The Seminole tribe lived in the Eastern Woodland region of Florida, where they built shelters called chickees out of cypress trees and palmetto leaves. For food, the Seminoles grew crops like corn, squash and beans, and hunted small game, fish and alligators. Men traditionally wore breechcloths made of deer skin while women wore wrap around skirts of palmetto leaves, though after encountering explorers some men and women incorporated tunics, turbans and long colorful skirts into their attire.
