According to Museum Director Anne McCudden, this is an accomplishment only 10 percent of museums nationwide achieve. She explained that the final recommendation could take up to a year from the American Association of Museum’s (AAM) Accreditation Commission. In preparation, a Museum Assessment Program Grant application was submitted to the AAM, which is designed to help museums Team Seminole assess their strengths and weaknesses, and plan ahead.

By E. Bowers HOLLYWOOD — On June 28, amidst a flurry of cuts and a switch to zero-based budgeting, the Tribal Council voted to approve the budget for the 2000-2001 fiscal year, estimated at $203 million, which includes an increase in per capita distribution. With many of the Tribal Program Directors in attendance, Chairman James Billie stated matter-of-factly that “everyone is overpaid.” He remarked despite the enor- mous boost in revenues due to gaming in recent years, some Directors approached the fiscal process as in the past, when the Tribal budget was subsidized by federal money. When approaching the end of the fiscal year “many people have the idea that you have to blow that money,” said Billie. Upon announcing the switch to zero-based budg- eting, in which the Directors start from zero and justify all expenditures that follow, Billie warned of freezes and, in some cases, elimination of such costs as sponsorship of events, pay raises, employee travel, per diem, advertising, and equipment purchases. The Tribal member loan and assistance programs will also be scrutinized. Estimating the amount of assis- tance given to Tribal members in the past year at $9 mil- lion, Billie observed “the needy ones never come to the Tribe, it’s the greediest ones that come and ask for assis- tance.” The $50,000 cap on loans may also become a thing of the past.

There is often confusion regarding terminology related to the study of the history and culture of the indigenous people of the North American continent. For the purposes of this handbook, the term “Native American” refers to the original human inhabitants (and their descendants) of this continent at the time of first recorded European contact (1492), including the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, Central America, and the Caribbean Islands. The term “American Indian” (or “Indian”) will refer primarily to the original inhabitants of the contiguous United States.
