Bøger i Florida Museum of Natural History: Ripley P.Bullen Series serien

Bringing together 19 Caribbean specialists, this text examines the people of the Caribbean, their social organization, religion, language, lifeways, and contribution to the culture of their modern descendants - to provide a comprehensive reader on Caribbean archaeology, ethnohistory, and ethnology.

This text describes how natural features transformed and how cultural traditions of native people, as well as Spanish, English, and American colonists, developed in response to opportunities and constraints of the environment, using the example of northeast Florida.

Relying on previously unused documents, this is a history of the Timucua Indians of Florida, from the first contact with Europeans, to their exile in Cuba in 1763 and their final eradication. It examines their culture, language, political structures, and the meanings of their placenames and titles.
