Gentlemen:

         Please accept my resignation from the Executive Council of the
Everglades Miccosukee Tribe of Seminole Indians, to become effective
immediately.

        I find I must do this for reasons of health, and hope that it will
be possible for me to get back on the Executive Council again when I am
able.  This does not mean that I am resigning my membership in the Tribe.

Witnessed By:                                              Very truly yours,


                                                                   Buffalo Tiger

                              this 24th day of March, 1961
                              [by her signature]  
                               
 
                                    Notary Public, State of Florida at large.
                                             My commission expires May 9, 1961.
