- 1984
- Description
- One proof sheet with twenty-seven images plus negatives. George (Junior) Mills showing Owen the site of the Seminole annual Green Corn Dance near the El Maximo Ranch. Chickees (traditional Seminole dwellings) are visible. Images created as fieldwork for the apprenticeship program. The Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program began in 1983 with a NEA grant of $22,000.

The program was continued each year through 2003.
