The Calusa are the native fauna.
The Spaniards were the first European settlers. They were the only whites here for 200 years. Then came the Seminoles and THEN the Crackers. Bur they quickly became the minority, and were soon outnumbered by blacks, Yankees, Midwesterners, New York City Jews, and yes, the Spanish again. They've almost disappeared now, due to intermarriage with more advanced cultures, although a few isolated pockets can still be found in scattered, backwards communities in the hinterlands.
