Dosar Barkus Band
In the late 17th century Africans who were enslaved by the
English in the Carolinas, began to escape into Florida.
These people were a part
of the foundation of the people who became known as the Seminoles.
In 1813, a man by the name of William Noble led what is now
the Dosar Barkus Band. Being born in Florida, he had no band, only a tribe.
William Noble led what later became the Dosar Barkus Band from 1870--1898. Dosar
Barkus took over leadership in 1898.
The Dawes Roll gave the band the name, Dosar Barkus Band. This band was comprised of the slaves of John Jumper, Chief
of the Seminole Nation.
