"EVERGLADES, Fla. (
AP) — As a boy, when the water was low Talbert Cypress
from the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida rummaged through the
Everglades’ forests, swam in its swampy ponds and fished in its canals.
But the vast wetlands near Miami have radically changed since Cypress was
younger. Now 42 and tribal council chairman, Cypress said water levels are
among the biggest changes. Droughts are drier and longer. Prolonged floods are
drowning tree islands sacred to them. Native wildlife have dwindled.
“It’s basically extremes now,” he said.
Tribal elder Michael John Frank put it this way: “The Everglades is beautiful,
but it’s just a skeleton of the way it used to be.”"
