The university also reached out to the tribe in other ways. For years, Florida State University has invited Seminole Tribe high school students to visit its Tallahassee campus. The university organizes an annual summer trip to encourage young Seminoles to apply for admission. And the program is working. This fall, four new Seminole students will join four already enrolled there.
Four! Four???? I think the University of ND has a few hundred Inidans from many different tribes, not just the Sioux, as well as probablly the largest Indians in Medicine program in the USA.

Maybe it's a function of distance. If most of the Seminoles are concentrated around Hollywood, according to Mapquest: "Total Est. Time: 6 hours, 59 minutes (and) Total Est. Distance: 465.39 miles", Tallahassee, FL to Hollywood, FL. That's assuming most of them live near where "Support for Florida State is obvious at the Seminole Tribe's showcase Okalee Indian Village in Hollywood, Fla".

I admit that number seems a bit low, but I believe the Indian population of Florida was marched west in the 19th century...I would be curious to know how many native Americans still live in Florida.
