Ep. 265: Osceola - War and the Warrior

On this episode of Bear Grease, we continue our deep dive into the life of Osceola. We enter into the wartime years that continue to shape who he was and the future of the Seminole people. Dr. Patricia Wickman describes the surrounding events, reason for national popularity, and debunks some internet myths. Seminole filmmaker Sterlin Harjo talks about what it means to be part of the “Unconquered People” and the internal conflict.  Osceola descent, Jake Tiger, explains the role of Osceola, not as a chief, but as an influential warrior and war leader.
