Paid Lecture - Archaeology of the Calusa

Join us for environmentally themed lectures and discussions by experts in their fields.  Tickets are $5.00 per person, pre-paid.  Held at the Visitors' Center.  Seating is limited, so register today!  Presented by Natalie A. De La Torre Salas, MA, RPA of the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN).  The Calusa were called “the fierce people” in part because they held off Spanish domination for almost 200 years, but is the nickname really warranted? We’ll talk about the engineering, trade, and power that made the Calusa a dominating force in Southwest Florida long before the Spanish arrived.
