The Timucua Reviews
-
My mind is blown and my stomach hurts. Reading about the native groups from my neighborhood is the perfect way to spend Thanksgiving week. As a practicing Catholic, I’m horrified to learn the other side of the Florida missions. While evangelizing they were conforming, enslaving and spreading disease. I loved learning the same plants and animals I enjoy today sustained people in 750BC. I wish we could learn more about these people. Imagine a modern world where we could incorporate more of a native way of life spiritually and environmentally. This book should be mandatory reading for Florida history.
