The only Native American tribe to never be overtaken by the white government because they're the only tribe to have never signed a peace treaty with the U.S. (They call themselves the "Unconquered People.") Seminoles are a combination of other tribes from other Southeaster states, and also include escaped slaves. While 90% of all Seminoles were moved to Oklahoma, the other 10% stayed in or around the Everglades. In a series of wars, the 300 or so Seminoles defeated about 1,500 American troops. Their combination of fleeing for cover into the Everglades, along with the fact that many of them were runaway slaves, led U.S. troops to roughly translate Seminole to "runaway" in English.

Get the seminole mug.Seminole Nole (AKA SN), is an online information page that reports the scandalous, insipid, and somtimes fabricated activites performed by the residents of Sanford & Lake Mary Florida.
SN is a gossip site. Thousands of facebook friends, twitter followers, and formspring creeps submit what they believe is newsworthy enough to the page, in hopes that whoever is running the site will publish they're (again, mostly fabricated) stories, and the submitee will gain they're five minutes of fame.
The Site is claimed to be run by a group of upper-class girls from Seminole High School, and have several crude imitators such as 'Criminole Nole' and the 'Lake Mary Ram' page; none of these pages is as popular as the SN.
The page still remains active to this day, highlighting the recent news of who-gave-sabrina-herpes news, and otherwise teen-related dramatics.
