Did the Seminole Indians have a education?
All native children were taught in the ways of their tribes until the 1800's. The United States government decided to open schools for the Native American children, but what they managed to do is treat generations of childrenhorribly. The government removed the children from their tribes, cut their hair ( for the boys the cutting of hair meant that a parent had died), removed the native clothing and put them in suits and dresses, didn't allow them to practice their own customs, and didn't allow them to speak their native tongues. The result was children who didn't know who they were or what they were. When they were done in the schools the children were allowed to go at 18, but now they didn't know the ways of their tribes nor the language. Yet, they were not accepted into the white society. They were a people without a home. Some committed suicide, others drank, and a few ended up in prison. This was a shameful thing that the United State government did.
because they adopted many of the colonists' customs and had generally good relations with their neighbors.
What tribe lived in shelters made of wood and fish were an important source of food for their tribe?

What is the blackfeet tribe like today?
The Blackfeet in the United States have a reservation in northwestern Montana, just east of the Rocky Mountains. The Blackfoot (same tribe, different name) also have a reserve in southwestern Alberta. There is a Blood (Kainah) reserve and a Blackfoot (Siksika) reserve farther north in Alberta.
Although (according to what population figures I've seen recently) about half of the regestered members of the tribes live on the reservation/reserves, the rest live nearby. Of course, some live far elsewhere. As far as what they are like today, it's like asking "What are the Dutch like today" or "What are Ethiopians like today" -- they are people who live their lives. Some are more involved in their traditional history, while others are more acculturated in American/Canadian society.
I'm less familiar with the Canadian side of things, but the American Blackfeet are undergoing something of a renaissance of traditional awareness, with lots of interest in reviving the use of their language. For more up-to-date information, I would visit the tribes' websites.

The Seminole tribe of Florida have a casino and hotel in Tampa.
The Seminole Tribe of Florida is a Federally Recognized Indian Tribe, the only tribe in America who never signed a peace treaty.
Today, the members of the Seminole tribe speak one or both of two languages: Maskókî and Mikisúkî. These are the only two left from among the dozens of dialects that were spoken by their ancestors here in the Southeast. Maskókî, erroneously called "Creek" by English speakers, is the core language. Mikisúkî is a dialect of Hitchiti, which was itself a dialect of the core language, Maskókî. Although Maskokî is spoken in Oklahoma as well as in Florida, Mikisukî is spoken in only one place on earth: in South Florida, by the members of the Seminole and Miccosukee Tribes.
What wildlife surrounded the Seminoles tribe?
deer, rabbit, white heron, and alligator roam in the seminole tribe.

Who were the first Europeans to meet the Seminoles?
Could have been the Norse a little over 1000 years ago.
BTW the Inuit do not choose to be called "Eskimo" which is Montagnais (another indigenous people's language) for "Those who lace snowshoes"
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.
Did Seminole have a government?
Yes, the Seminole people had their own government structure, which was traditionally organized around clans and councils. Historically, they operated under a confederation of tribes, with leaders chosen based on consensus rather than a formal hierarchical system. Today, the Seminole Tribe of Florida has a formal government that includes a tribal council and a chairman, overseeing various aspects of tribal governance, economic development, and cultural preservation.
