FT. MYER, FL, UNITED STATES, February 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As homeowners and businesses look to add new outdoor spaces in 2026, Native American Tiki Palm Huts of Florida, Inc., is bringing attention to the cultural history behind authentic Florida Chickee huts. These structures, built by Native American communities for hundreds of years, are becoming increasingly popular choices for backyards, resorts, and restaurants across the state.
Chickee huts are an important part of Florida’s Native American heritage. The Seminole and Miccosukee tribes developed these open-air buildings to stay cool in Florida’s hot, humid climate. Built without nails or modern tools, authentic Chickee huts use natural, hand-selected materials like cypress and palm fronds. Construction of native Chickee huts follows methods passed down through generations.
“We believe it’s important to honor the Native American traditions that make these structures so special,” says Yordanka Ramirez, Native American Tiki Palm Huts of Florida, Inc. “When people choose a Chickee hut, they’re not just getting a beautiful outdoor space; they’re preserving a piece of Florida’s cultural history.”
Interest in authentic Chickee huts has grown steadily over the past few years. In uncertain economic times, homeowners are looking for ways to create outdoor escapes that offer shade and a connection to nature. Hotels, restaurants, and commercial properties want to give guests a truly Floridian experience. Chickee huts make excellent poolside cabanas, tiki bars, and gathering spaces that stand out.
The rise in Chickee hut popularity has created new opportunities for Native craftspeople to share their skills and educate others about Chickee-building traditions. As the 2026 outdoor living season approaches, Native American Tiki Palm Huts of Florida, Inc., encourages people to learn more about authentic Chickee huts. Understanding the cultural significance and tradition helps preserve an important part of Florida’s heritage.
