| The natives
of North Florida were known as the Timucua Indians and their settlement
in this area was called the Village of Seloy. These Native Americans
were said to be a handsome people with most achieving an average
height of 6 feet or more. They were hunters, gatherers, and farmers.
The women took care of the home, children, and cooking while the
men provided food and protection for the family. These Indians developed
a way of life that enabled them to live and prosper in the world
they lived in. Students experience pre-European life in old Florida. On Site Activities
