Abstract:
Beginning in the early 16th centruy, small numbers of Florida Indians were sporadically transported to Cuba, which became a staging ground for many Florida expeditions. Cuban vessels also maintained trade with South Florida Indians between the 16th and early 19th centuries, involving indigenous groups and immigrant Creeks after the 1760s. And from 1704 to 1760, several hundred refugees from slave-raiding across South Florida fled on Cuban vessels and settled near Havana., followed in 1763 by 89 surviving mission Indians from St. Augustine. This paper explores the presence and survivorship of Southeastern Indians in Cuba, including avenues for future research.
