How did the Seminole Indians feel about the Indian removal act?
Where some tribes went more peacefully, the Seminoles were not willing to just hand over their land. The Seminole Wars erupted in Florida. The Seminoles proved to be worthy warriors, and they were especially violent battles. Leaders, such as Osceola, knew the land and how to maneuver in it, whereas soldiers from the United States side were unfamiliar with swamp terrains. They used this to their advantage, and to some success. However, in the end, sheer numbers and superior weapons pushed the Seminoles back. They were confined to reservations. There are still many remnants of these wars throughout Florida, such as Fort Brooke in Tampa, and cities and counties named after Seminole leaders throughout the state.

What is the Native American belief of crows?
I am Native American. My tribes are Ottowa and Ojebue. I can tell you that to my tribes, the crow symbolizes nothing. We do use the feathers for crafts, costumes, and fans. The crow is like any other common bird. To another tribe however, the Crow may be a "Totem" or "worshiped being". I do know that in some cultures the crow either "eats" the soul of a dead being or is a warning of something deadly about to happen. I wish you luck on your search for the crow. Signed Highstar

How do you write my name in Cherokee?
First you look up the Cherokee syllabry chart (this is not an alphabet, but consists mainly of units comprising a consonant plus a vowel) - the link below takes you to a chart.
Be prepared to arrive at an approximation of your name, since the syllabry was designed to write Cherokee words, not English ones, so it may not have exactly corresponding sounds.
For example, using the chart I could make the name "Rachel" by taking the signs for le (there is no "re") + tse + la and come up with letsela, which is as close as you can get. For the name "David" I could use de + wi + dv to make dewidv.
See link below for syllabry chart:
