Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum Hosts Youth in Partnership With Sieler Safe Haven Foundation BIG CYPRESS SEMINOLE INDIAN RESERVATION, Fla. (July 21, 2022) – The Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum recently hosted the Miami Dolphins Football UNITES Cultural Tour for local community groups and youth of the Sieler Safe Haven Foundation. The goal of the tour was to engage diverse groups through an exploration of the Seminole culture to improve relationships, foster understanding, and provide opportunities to experience South Florida. The group toured the galleries, boardwalk, watched an alligator wrestling demonstration, and heard storytelling and flute playing by Museum Director Gordon Wareham. Participants from several South Florida organizations, including Miami Dolphins Football UNITES community partners Big Brothers Big Sisters Broward, Big Brothers Big Sisters Miami-Dade, Generational Cure and Urban League Broward County joined the tour. For Zach and Hannah Sieler, and the Sieler Safe Haven Foundation, the outdoors is not only an escape, but a source of lifelong learning. Partnering with the Miami Dolphins and the Seminole Tribe brings opportunities to children that they wouldn’t otherwise have. This is the first of many potential partnership tours between Sieler Safe Haven Foundation and the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum. About the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum The Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum opened in 1997 and is owned and operated by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Situated in the Everglades on a 66-acre cypress dome on the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation, the museum offers more than 5,000 square feet of gallery space. Exhibits feature rare artifacts and lifelike dioramas that depict Seminole life at the turn of the century. In 2009, the Museum became the first tribally governed museum to be accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

About the Sieler Safe Haven Foundation Founded by Hannah and Zach Sieler, defensive tackle for the Miami Dolphins. Sieler Safe Haven aims to impact young people of all abilities through a shared passion of the outdoors combined with cultural enrichment, focusing on the original stewards of the land we now call Florida-the Seminole and Miccosukee Tribes. They are committed to a better understanding of the original inhabitants of the land and the current issues they face, while respecting their resilience and longstanding traditions.
