Human remains from the Weedon Island
Period (AD 200-400), which is the time period during which the
Tocobaga Indian tribe inhabited this region, will be reburied at 10
a.m. on Sat., June 30 in an interment ceremony at the Safety Harbor
Museum of Regional History, 329 Bayshore Blvd. S., Safety
Harbor.
The general public is invited to
observe.
This ceremony is in fact a reburial of
human remains culturally affiliated with the Seminole Nation. The
ceremony will be performed by the Spirit People Intertribal Family
which is a multi-tribal family consisting of members representing
tribes from across North America, Canada and South America. The
group’s focus is teaching the community about the diverse
history, culture, traditions and way of the old ones. The Tampa Bay
area is estimated to have been first inhabited approximately
10,000–12,000 years ago.
Pamela “Weighs The Truth”
Davison, spiritual leader of the Spirit People Intertribal Family,
said that in recognition of the significance of spiritually
returning the person back to earth and into the world that they now
reside in, the public will be invited to celebrate and honor all
indigenous peoples and their ancestors following a short private
ceremony. Foods, traditional with such burial ceremonies, will be
served at the conclusion of the ritual.
