Ee-mat-la, also known as King Philip, (died 1839) was a Seminole chief during the Second Seminole War. He was captured while camped at Dunlawton plantation, and held at Fort Marion. He died while being transported west in 1839.〔Bruce E. Johansen and Donald A. Grinde, Jr. ''The Encyclopedia of Native American Biography'', New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1997.〕 He was "also a very aged chief, who has been a man of great notoriety and distinction in his time, but has now got too old for further warlike enterprize."〔("LETTER—No. 57". ''Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Conditions of North American Indians'', George Catlin, (First published in London in 1844) )〕 The long shirts with wide collars were apparently used through the Second Seminole War, to judge from Catlin's paintings. Not one of his seven portraits of adult Seminole males clearly show a cape of any kind, while a couple do show wide ruffled collars ("Mick-E-No-Pa" SILP#203, "Ee-Mat-La" SILP#209).〔( "The Seminole Longshirt The Seminole Longshirt" ''19th Century Seminole Men`s Clothing'', M. E. (Pete) Thompson and Rick Obermeyer, NativeTech: Native American Technology and Art )〕 His son was Wild Cat (Seminole). ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ee-mat-la」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
