This book was released on 1998 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An exceptional book for popular consumption. . . . It is a wonderful synthesis, and will be avidly read by both professional archaeologists and the general public."--Marvin T. Smith, Valdosta State University Florida's Indians tells the story of the native societies that have lived in Florida for twelve millennia, from the early hunters at the end of the Ice Age to the modern Seminole, Miccosukee, and Creeks. When the first Indians arrived in what is now Florida, they wrested their livelihood from a land far different from the modern countryside, one that was cooler, drier, and almost twice the size. Thousands of years later European explorers encountered literally hundreds of different Indian groups living in every part of the state. (Today every Florida county contains an Indian archaeological site.) The arrival of colonists brought the native peoples a new world and great changes took place--by the mid-1700s, through warfare, slave raids, and especially epidemics, the population was almost annihilated. Other Indians soon moved into the state, including Creeks from Georgia and Alabama, who were the ancestors of the modern Seminole and Miccosukee Indians. Written for a general audience, this book is lavishly illustrated with full-color drawings and photographs. It skillfully integrates the latest archaeological and historical information about the Sunshine State's Native Americans, connecting the past and present with modern place-names, and it gives a proud voice to Florida's rich Indian heritage. Jerald T. Milanich, curator in archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville, is the author of Florida Indians and the Invasion from Europe (UPF, 1995) and Archaeology of Precolumbian Florida (UPF, 1994), among numerous other books.
Download or read book Timucua Indian Mounds of Northeast Florida written by Donald D. Spencer and published by . This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Timucua Indians lived in the Northeast and Central part of Florida. They are the Indian tribe that gave curious Europeans their first picture of Native Americans. These were paintings done by artist Jacques LeMoyne, who came with a French expedition to North Florida in 1564. His assignment was to map the coast and to portray the natives. The Timucua Indians were a tall, handsome people, noted for their heavily tattooed bodies. They survived living with French and Spanish explorers for many years, but their numbers slowly dwindled. The Timucua Indians, who once had numbered 15,000, became a vanished tribe by the mid-eighteenth century. In their 2,000 years of occupation, the Timucua Indians did little to alter the natural landscape. Their remaining burial and ceremonial mounds and shell middens are like an unwritten book about the people who lived here. In addition to introducing the reader to Florida's Timucua Indians, this book describes the importance of anthropology and archaeology, identifies important documenters of Timucua Indian history, and describes several historical Timucua Indian mounds and middens that exist today.

Download or read book The Seminole Indians of Florida written by Clay MacCauley and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indians known as Seminole are of the Muskokian linguistic stock who before the present century left their congeners and dwelt within the present limits of Georgia and Florida. A chief cause of the separation was disagreement among the people of the towns of the Lower Creeks and Hichiti concerning their relations with Europeans settling in the country. The Seminole, who are described in this book as of a high grade in physique and intelligence, may well be descendants of these heroes. The status of these Indians is peculiar in that their contact with civilization has hitherto been regulated, to an extent not known elsewhere, by their own volition, and has not been imposed upon them. Visitors, traders, and Government agents have been denied admission, but the Indians have in a limited way visited the settlements beyond their own boundaries and traded there.

Each essay has these main sections: Chronology, Historical Overview, Notable Indians, Cultural Contributions, and Bibliography.
