Chickees, stilt homes connected by walkways raised above waterlogged ground, are seen on Rice Island, one of several tree islands where the family of Miccosukee Tribal elder Michael Frank once lived, in the Miccosukee Indian Reservation in Florida's Everglades, Thursday, July, 11, 2024. Frank, 67, who was born on a different tree island, continues to maintain the family's chickees, traditionally used for sleeping, eating and gathering. The Miccosukee no longer live on tree islands, but remain closely connected to their land through cultural, spiritual and environmental practices. (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)
