Osceola (Asi-yahola)
1804 CE–1838 CE · Seminole country (Florida)
Osceola (Asi-yahola) was a leader of the Seminole in Florida during the Second Seminole War of the 1830s. Though not a hereditary chief, he became a prominent voice of resistance to U.S. efforts to remove the Seminole from their lands. In 1837 he was seized while meeting under a flag of truce, an act widely condemned at the time, and he died in military custody at Fort Moultrie in 1838. He became a lasting symbol of Seminole resistance.
