Unnesserarily long film about the Seminoles of Florida, that doesn't really bother with it's history for the most part and mostly concerns itself with it's locale, the animals there and the current challenges the Indians are facing. Luckily they've got their Old Gold Cigarrettes to help them through, which is the film's sponsor as well. Really Old Gold, really? did you need to do that?
