The Timucua were a semi-nomadic people who lived in villages consisting of thatched houses. They practiced agriculture, hunting, and fishing. The Timucua were also skilled at making pottery, baskets, and textiles. They had a complex religious system that included the worship of a creator god, the sun, and the moon.
The Timucua came into contact with the Spanish in the 16th century. The Spanish established missions among the Timucua and gradually began to colonize their territory. By the early 18th century, the Timucua had been decimated by disease, warfare, and displacement. The last of the Timucua died out in the late 18th century.
