I purchased this piece in Southern Florida, Hobe Sound to be exact. It’s a handmade Native American flute. I gave this to my friend for a special occasion. Since he’s not with us anymore, I claimed it as mine. Native Americans: History and Culture of Florida Tribes

Tribes of Florida - Brief Descriptions

Ais

The Ais were noted as the most important tribe of southeastern Florida, and they were probably responsible for the fact that the watercourse on which they dwelt came to be called Indian River.

Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda (c. 1536 – after 1575) wrote of a Biscayan named Pedro who had been held prisoner [by the] Ais, evidently during the sixteenth century, and spoke the Ais language fluently. Shortly after the Spaniards made their first establishments in the peninsula, a war broke out with the Ais, but peace was concluded in 1570. In 1597 Governor Mendez de Canço, who traveled along the entire east coast from the head of the Florida Keys to St. Augustine, reported that the Ais chief had more Indians under him than any other.

.

Apalachee

From at least A.D. 1000, a group of farming Indians was living in northwest Florida. They were called the Apalachees. Other Florida Indians regarded them as being wealthy and fierce. Some think the Apalachee language was related to Hitchiti of the Muskhogean language family. The Apalachees' territory extended from the Aucilla River in the east to the Ochlockonee River in the west.

.

Calusa

The Calusa Indians were originally called the "Calos" which means "Fierce People." They were descendants of Paleo-Indians who inhabited Southwest Florida approximately 12,000 years ago. During the Calusa's reign the Florida coastline extended roughly 60 miles further into the Gulf of Mexico. Hardwood forests covered the land and the climate was much colder than it is today. The Calusa inhabited a region abundant with bears, woolly mammoths, sloth, tortoises, and saber-toothed tigers. Hunting these animals and gathering roots and fruit that grew on trees was a mainstay until they discovered the waters contained a wealth of fish. This new food source required significantly less time than hunting and gathering their food, and allowed the Calusa time to establish their own system of government. Following this formation of a centralized government were the construction of a canal system, the beginnings of organized religion, and the creating of many art forms.

.

Jeaga

The Jeaga (YAY•gah) inhabited present day Palm Beach County. Jonathan Dickson, who survived a shipwreck on the coast near Jeaga lands in 1698, described them as "fierce and bloody." The Jeaga depended on the sea for much of their food.

.

Mayaimi

Along the lower Atlantic Coast was the home of many small tribes: the Tequestas of Biscayne Bay, the Ais and the Jeagas up the coast, the Keys Indians, and the Mayaimi who built large mounded villages near Lake Okeechobee. Like the Calusa, these tribes were fishermen and hunters rather than farmers.

.

Potano

The Potano tribe was anciently celebrated as, with one or two possible exceptions, the most powerful of all the Timucua peoples. Located in the territory of the present Alachua County.

.

Seminoles

Seminole history begins with bands of Creek Indians from Georgia and Alabama who migrated to Florida in the 1700s. Conflicts with Europeans and other tribes caused them to seek new lands to live in peace. Groups of Lower Creeks moved to Florida to get away from the dominance of Upper Creeks. Some Creeks were searching for rich, new fields to plant corn, beans, and other crops. For a while, Spain even encouraged these migrations to help provide a buffer between Florida and the British colonies. The 1770s is when Florida Indians collectively became known as Seminole, a name meaning "wild people" or "runaway."

[Excerpt from: Florida Department of State's Division of Resources' Seminole History Report.]

.

Tequesta

The Tequesta were a small, peaceful, Native American tribe. They were one of the first tribes in South Florida and they settled near Biscayne Bay in the present-day Miami area. They built many villages at the mouth of the Miami River and along the coastal islands. Like the other tribes in South Florida, the Tequesta were hunters and gatherers.

.

Timucua

The Timucua lived in large circular houses with palm-thatched roofs. Frequently, they built a wall of tall wooden poles around their villages for protection against attack. Like most Native Americans, the Timucua had no written language. They farmed the rich lands of North Florida.

[Excerpt from: Florida Online, Social Studies, Glenco Online: The Timucua and the Apalachee: glencoe.com/sec/socialstudies/fcat/early_florida.html#tim... ]

.

Tocobaga

The Tocobaga Indians were a group of prehistoric and historic Native Americans living near Tampa Bay, Florida up until roughly 1760. All of the Tampa Bay inhabitants relied heavily on water animals and plants for food, but also hunted and gathered on land. Of all these groups, only the Tocobaga planted corn.
