They believe that spirits, when they die, should be buried facing the east because when the sun comes up and the milky way comes out in the morning just before the sun is full.

The spirit needs that milky way to walk across to the spirit world where he's going to live. And if they don't bury him properly, and this is why they want

Osceola's head, because he's buried in pieces, and he can't rest until he's back together.

And the critical thing about that story, and I'm going to tell you now,

and I'll tell you again later on, is that the only people who have the right

to make disposition of his head, if and when it is ever found,

and I have worked hard looking for it, are the Seminole people in Florida, the only ones.

In the history books, when a person dies and is buried, aside from the rippling impacts of their life on society, their story usually fades to an end.

Their physical and material impact evaporate at death. That is, unless you're osteola, the story continues. The life of this war leader, the mastermind of

the seminal resistance to his tribe's removal out of Florida stretches 129 years post-barial

when they decide to dig up his body in search of some unanswered questions,

which really only give us more questions.

My friends, mystery remains,

and the truth is sometimes more wild than the myth.

I really doubt that you're going to want to miss this last episode on Osceola on Thanksgiving week.

And as a bonus at the end, we're going to talk with the Florida Seminole about their partnership with Florida State University.
