Florida's First People
M. C. Bob Leonard, Professor of History
The place now called Florida was originally inhabited by many tribes of Indigenous people who had lived for centuries content in their culture, but the arrival of European explorers would bring changes that would irreparably damage their lives.
Diseases brought by these strangers decimated the unsuspecting Natives, those who survived were either made into slaves by their captors, or taken from their homes and sent to neighboring Caribbean Islands. The fate of Florida's First people was little different than that of many other Indigenous peoples, the explorers came, took without asking, leaving the land and its people forever scarred.
