Life in the Fast Lane (or River, Rather): The Miami Tribe

| How Did The Miami Tribe Live |
Home Sweet Home (or Village, Rather)
The Miami people weren't exactly known for their urban planning skills. Their idea of a housewarming party was setting up a pole-frame hut in the middle of nowhere. But hey, at least they had a killer view of the river. Their villages were typically nestled in fertile river valleys, which is basically the ancient equivalent of living in a prime location. Can't beat that!
Eat, Pray, Hunt
Life for a Miami wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. They had to get their hands dirty (or, more accurately, covered in bison blood) to survive. Farming was a big deal. Corn was their bread and butter (literally), but they also grew other goodies like beans, squash, and melons. Imagine trying to grow corn without tractors or even proper gardening tools. Talk about a green thumb!

When the crops weren't doing so hot, it was time to hit the road (or the prairie, rather). Buffalo hunting was a major event. Can you imagine rounding up a whole herd of bison without horses? Those guys were seriously hardcore.
Fashion and Accessories
Miami style was pretty low-key. Think moccasins, buckskin clothes, and maybe a feather or two for good measure. No Gucci or Prada here, folks. But hey, they were practical. And who needs designer labels when you're busy surviving in the wilderness?

Miami Vice (or Village, Rather)
Contrary to popular belief, the Miami Tribe didn't have a monopoly on cocaine or fancy suits. Their version of "Miami Vice" involved a lot more hunting, gathering, and council meetings. They had chiefs, of course, but the decision-making process was more of a group effort. Everyone had a say, which is pretty cool when you think about it.
