This bill adds Osceola Camp in Everglades National Park to the Miccosukee Reserved Area and requires public maps showing the change. It orders the federal government to work with the Miccosukee Tribe to protect buildings there from flooding within two years. The policy boosts Tribal stewardship, protects homes and cultural sites, and improves flood safety, with little effect on other park visitors.
Vote Yes on this bill if you want to expand the Miccosukee Reserved Area to include Osceola Camp, require the federal government to work with the Tribe to protect camp structures from flooding within two years, and strengthen cultural and community resilience.
Organizations that support this bill may include Native American and tribal sovereignty groups, environmental conservation nonprofits, and local Miami-Dade stakeholders who want stronger flood protection and cultural site preservation.
