Absolutely Fabulous. Thank You.

Killer good documentary! I will never forget reading in the Miami Herald the first Miami Circle article which was written as a call to activists that something major was about to happen and then the months that followed, the woman who came to dance daily at the site, the activist-occupied area at the developer’s fence, the day we yelled the developer’s back hoe operator off the site and the big black, experienced, uniformed Miami cop who showed up as the police force representative to make sure everything stayed under control, (there were young guys who were going to climb over the fence and lay down under the back hoe) and camera crews on the bridge for national news, the families bringing young kids to see the posters on the fence and wax nostalgic from their own anti-war and civil rights days, the weekend rally Miami police who showed up not wearing hats to project an image of no confrontational crowd control, the Lakota man who came from South Dakota to a later Commission meeting and spoke. Incredible, exciting times! The freakout for me is the idea of probable Lucayan trade and contact, imagine reliably paddling to and from the Bahamas and all the way to the first, the closest, real, tall mountains of Hispaniola! Imagine seeing that for the first time in a canoe culture! You can count on the fact that happened to somebody.

it just makes me crazy that Florida State University shows a Seminole riding a horse with a spear 🤦🏼‍♂️

Thank you. Difficult enforcement the people to have lived. Very poor permanent construction materials were available. Sad much of the remains may have been destroyed on drier sites in the rush to develop Florida.

Was the white sand brought up from the Sugar Sand Park on Military Trail in Boca Raton qhich has such super white sand? The main mound of the Jeaga tribe is at the entrance of the Boca Yacht Cub at Yamato & US 1. It is a burrial mound about 3 stories high You can see it from entrance known as the Barnhill mound . The Jeaga supposedly are associated with the Boynton Mounds. All this plus much more is in an old Tequesta magazine. Barnhill dug a tunnel thru the mound as a tourist attraction which is now closed. Show pre and post Spanish burial positions.

SEEMS LIKE VERY POOR ARCHAELOGICAL SITES, PRODUCING SHARK TEETH AND SNAKE BONES, HARDLY WORTH THE TROUBLE TO GET TO THEM. THE POTTERY ALSO IS UNDECORATED, VERY BORING.

They used fake indian pictures! Show the real dark skin indigenous people!

Unless there was a DNA test done on anchient bones it's really hard to tell, since there could have been way anchient groups we have little evidence of influencing the gene pool and Florida was thoroughly forrested at the time. People in forrested areas in Africa can be white too, groups who live with little sunlight for upwards of 10,000 years get lighter skin over time and further north you get from Florida the indigenous people are descendants of groups who lived like and around the Inuit. The average indigenous Floridian would have some Mayan and northern indigenous ancestors so it likely was a range of shades of tan between different tribes in Florida, and the pictures are depicting northeastern tribes who had European admixture from 10,000 years ago.
