There is no state of war between the US and the Seminoles.

Technically there is. There is no peace treaty between the U.S. govt and the Seminole tribe.

There have been a number of treaties between both the Florida and Oklahoma Seminoles. There was no treaty between the die-hard tribal members that ran off into the swamps because it was just too much trouble and expense to round them up - hence, the Seminole contention that they were unconquered. The fact remains that as a federally recognized tribe, i.e., “Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Services from the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs”, they have clearly surrendered.
