Lecture on the Calusa
Time: 2:00 pm til 3:00 pm
Location: South Branch Library, 6081 26th St W, Bradenton
Description: Learn about Florida’s first commercial fishermen, the Calusa. The Calusa were great boat builders, fishermen and traders before Columbus crossed the Atlantic. Find out what sort of boats they built and how they used them. Who they traded with, who they fought and how they came to be the most powerful tribe in Southwest Florida at the time of contact. During the 30 minute talk we will look at where the Calusa came from, what made them unique, what happened to them when the Spanish arrived and where they might still be.
