Program Description

Event Details

The Calusa were called “the fierce people” partly because they held off Spanish domination for almost 200 years, but is the nickname warranted? Florida Public Archaeology Network's Natalie De La Torre Salas will discuss the engineering, trade, and power that made the Calusa a dominating force in Southwest Florida long before the Spanish arrived.
