Duuu, use the swiss-army knife and the flashlight to convince the Seminoles that your a god and have them supply you with everything you need, try not to sneeze on them though.

Seriously though the natives would be friendly having had no bad experiences with whites before and any item made of metal would be exceedingly valuable to them, given enough time you could adapt to their way of life and do the whole Connecticut Yankee / Dances with Wolves thing in grand style. The seminoles were a group who violently opposed europeans and Americans longer then almost any other native group.

I think you may be right though, I certainly hope they would recieve me positivley. Thinking more on it, I do have a *LOT* of metal near me, there is a hell of a lot of scrap metal in those washing and drying machines. I do have some half decent tools , I could proboably win them over with gifts and become the local medicine man. I suppose I would claim to be a traveler from a distant land who was very lost, what else am I going to say? A first aid course and a decent education including biology and science makes me a more competant healer then anyone on the continent.

I’d convert the Seminoles to Judaism if possible. I know absolutely nothing about Seminole religion so I don’t know if that is possible. I think I might be able to pull it off.

Cortez's conquest of Mexico would have been impossible if not for the legend of quetzocoataxl(sp?) and but for the sacking of Tenochticlan(sp again), the more advanced cities in Mexico would not have collapsed. Nothing I could possibly do about Europeans colonizing the Caribbean though.

My ancestors are split between Jews in the ottoman empire who are probably doing allright and Jews who would be soon oppressed in Spain when the inquisition comes(1481). I have no particular desire to see Europeans colonize the western hemisphere, to be honest at the time, I would probably want to prevent it-would I want my children and their descendants to be wiped out in a century or two?

I think I’d like to stop the western destruction of the natives of the Americas if possible. I do not know how to do this though, I would not speak the languages of central America nor have any easy way to get there, though if I could warn them, European conquest of the Americas would be VERY seriously slowed down. How fast do you think the Americas would be conquered if there were no stories of cities filled with gold ripe for the sacking but instead, stories of savage natives who slaughtered those who came?
