It sounds like you need the services of a Lawyering Person to splain the fine print to Trinity.

Very complicated, the reason is that the tribe did not exist till the 18th century, were refugees from the white, and were folks from several tribes plus escaped slaves, besides several Indian languages plus English, it involves several African languages.

There are a lot of Seminole's in Oklahoma most of em just west of Okmulgee County,  that was the Seminole nation of Oklahoma,  I've heard em talk lots of times, had a real good friend growing up who spoke nothing but Creek at home, but they could understand English and speak it fine, when I was there, they would speak English so I'd understand, but in Oklahoma, the Creek and Seminole speak basically the same lanuage, what they called Muskogee Creek. I see on the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma is trying to set up an on line learn the lanuage, ya might check over there.

The Mvskoke (Seminole/Creek) Language and Alphabet
By Edwin Marshall, Director
Seminole Nation Family Services

The Mvskoke language, as it is spoken by the Oklahoma Seminoles, is the same as the Mvskoke (Creek) language. This is due, particularly, to the fact that most Seminoles who were removed to Oklahoma, after the Treaty of Payne's Landing in the 1830's and subsequent "Great Seminole War," were descended from the lower Creeks who had migrated to Florida in the 1700s.

Following removal, The Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, through their principal missionary, Rev. R.M. Loughridge, already had an active ministry in the Creek Nation, and was educating their children in Boarding Schools. In 1846, the Board instructed Loughridge to visit the recently arrived Seminole Chiefs to inquire of them regarding their willingness to have schools and allow preaching in their Nation. Most were supportive, and thus began the formal education and conversion of many Seminoles in Oklahoma.

Rev. Loughridge, with the assistance of a Mvskoke interpreter, Rev. David Winslett, developed a Mvskoke alphabet which was adopted by many Creek and Seminole interpreters and Chiefs in 1853. The following is presented as it appears in the ENGLISH AND MUSKOKEE DICTIONARY, which wasn't actually formally published until 1890.
