Boca Raton, FL – The Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum is pleased to announce its Earth Day Celebration on Monday, April 22, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Earth Day program provides a perfect opportunity for visitors to discover more about the importance of the Everglades to Seminole people and to learn about taking care of our planet.
