- Domain of the Calusa is an award-winning documentary about South Florida’s Calusa Indians: the native coastal Indians of southwest Florida. Filmed in 1995, it introduces a powerful, complex, and artistic Native American society with which few Americans are familiar, even in Florida.
The permanent education facility at Pineland became a reality in 1997, and you can now visit the Randell Research Center and Calusa Heritage Trail. To learn more about the Center and the Calusa People, visit: www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/rrc/
More about the film:
Archaeological sites left by the Calusa and their predecessors dot the southwest Florida coast, yet little has been known of these people until recently. Venture once again into the domain of the Calusa. Witness the intrigue and conflict as sixteenth-century Spanish ambition collides with the indomitable Calusa spirit. Follow anthropologist Frank Cushing to the steaming mangrove muck of Key Marco in 1896, as he excavates one of the most remarkable collections of Native American artifacts ever found. Join modern archaeologists, who are striving to restore the lost heritage of the mysterious Calusa as they learn lessons that may help today’s people.
Domain of the Calusa was named “Best Documentary” by the Louis Wolfson II Media History Center in 1996.

The Calusa had a fascinating civilization that rarely ever gets the attention it deserves. They built artificial islands, large temple mounds and complex fisheries. I once read that they’re the only “advanced” or “complex” society in known human history to ever be established entirely around Aquaculture and without ever developing Agriculture.
THE. CALUSA. WERE. VERY. VERY. WISE,. ESPECIALLY. BY. REFUSING. " CHRISTIANITY" !!!!!!! THE. MIGHTY. CALUSA. HAD. IT. GOING. ON. 🌿😍🌿🥰🌿😔🌿🌿🌿
Very interesting
The ancient marina at mound key was impressive. The scale was huge: many trade canoes could be handled at once, with no waiting time to load/offload.
Very smart ~
old photos of Pine land show 60 foot high shell mounds that were bulldozed and used as road bed fill in Charlotte and Lee Counties prior to WW2 and possibly after.
Sad and stupid
This sounds like it's narrated by Peter Thomas. Best voice ever!
I immediately noticed him from forensic files. Was an Amazing narrator.
Good video. Can't understand why someone would give it a thumbs down, but heck. These days nothing surprises me.
I would thumbs down it because of colonization
@@youknowwhyimhere756 what does that mean
@@youknowwhyimhere756 I was just about say that the only reason i could think of for disliking the presentation would be because of a dislike for and a disapproval of the truth & reality of the information presented.
And that is exactly what your response confirms!
This logic and reasoning is deeply flawed & contradictory, and utterly foolish! This is certainly obvious to most...
Such behavior is a great example of "shooting/killing the messenger" (who bears bad news)...
Neither this video nor its producers are in ANY way responsible for colonialism or the horrific atrocities that were an integral part of colonizing the Americas. Disliking the video on this basis is such a childish & ignorant, not to mention pathetic, way to respond!
This was a really good documentary! Wish I had seen it sooner.
Thank you.The Radio station Radio New Zealand had a programm on the Caalosa people this morning.This is the first time I have heard about this resilient and remarkable culture..Their spiritual belief in three spirits interested me and especially like to understand why they resisted European Jesuit missionary efforts.It suggests to me they were strongly grounded in their belief system which made them confident successful people until slavers came in the ?16 th century. Thank you for the documentary and good to see the children learning about discovering this past people.

I want to know how did they survive prehistoric hurricanes especially in Florida..
They would tie themselves to trees
Fascinating, thank you❤
this forgot that the last 400 families where given asylum to Cuba!
And that Chekika himself was descended of Calusa, their genetics still exist!

A dig in the Orange Grove hill beside the boat ramp on Lake Apopka. In Mount Verde. That's where points are gathered from.
The narrator's voice is the same as Paul Hardcastle's 19 .... In Vietnam he was 19 ...19.
pine island is also in lee county, there's even a road called pine island. also a road called el dorado, andalusia...
Deep voice in monthly month of. May.
the caloosa hatchee is in fort myers florida where I'm from... Anu era emcee...
I love learning about the peoples of the first nations, the original & native humans in the Americas.
But it is very sad, depressing & infuriating to learn or be reminded of just how unfairly & cruelly they were treated over and over and over again often until the ones who managed to survive the barrage of plagues introduced by the colonialists were either completely wiped out, or pushed further and fur5her off their ancestral homelands onto more and more inhospitable wastelands; and their cultures, languages, traditions and histories were nearly completely destroyed and erased as well.
-plays video- :: frantically tried to turn down the volume on my phone ::
Great story..i love in punta Gorda Florida..where these tribes supposed to have live.. GLORY TO GOD
I replicated tge Seated Panther artifact from elk anler and flintknapped a stone blade and inset it in pine pitch glue .Wish I could share photos in comments on youtube
Could they been connected in any way to the ruins in New Smyrna????
No, those were built just after we had expanded into Florida, trying to drive out the Seminoles
Nice documentary. Unfortunate that they all died out, I hate to see the negative effects of colonialism and expansionism. Makes me wonder how they would've prospered without European contact
They lived here for thousands and thousands of years without European contact, we saw exactly how they lived
@@99fxgtjc I know, i meant if the europeans left them alone after contact
@@DrywallMuncher_ it would’ve been exactly the same thing
NOT EXTINCT.
Could these people be related to the lucayo people ? They sound dead on similar
The Calusa Tribe may have disappeared; but not all of the Calusa culture. Seminoles know that some of the songs and stories told among them are from the Calusa. Rather than becoming "extinct," their survivors assimilated. That, of course, is the story of all human civilization. Try as some might, no one can really wipe out a culture!
Question: What, exactly, is the justification for using LeMoyne's illustrations to represent a totally different people.
Out of curiosity, do you know anywhere I could find any of the Seminole songs or stories from the Calusa, either as recordings or transcripts? I am a TA in an American History class and someday would like to include information about the Calusa in a class
I totally agree. Most of the "indians" who were captured during the "secret missionaries" were taken to the carolinas.. ... think about that..? The ones who escaped back further south they were eventually called creek, seminoles(wild men, free-men, runaways).. later in time they were eventually called colored, mullato, negro..could this be how they became "extinct". What were they being taught during the time of the missionary period of being CHILDREN of war? Its also said the indians that didn't go to the carolinas was sent further north, or to Cuba..? Ive been to cuba and if you know the history on cuba..just gon to the old churchesthey have pictureof the dark ones coming on boats and not from africa. When you know you know..
They were Black
@@timothyjvilgiate8330 well you should teach that they were Dark skin Aboriginal tribe
@@brianthomassr9451 Dark skinned, perhaps. They spent all of their time lightly clothed outdoors in Florida. Of course, unlike you I wasn't there to see them. [--If by any chance you happen to mean Negro, I'd be very interested to see your evidence that they arrived from Africa some 1,000 years earlier than the first black slaves on this continent. How did they cross the Atlantic to get here?]
Some of the figurines and drawings look Egyptian and Oriental
The producers of this documentary think that an incestuous relationship is a valid lifestyle.
420th like lol
The way they sit in my face smh
This documentary is being told by the oppressors
That’s bullshit
Unfortunately that’s all that’s usually available
They should leave our decendants @ rest;
troll
Black Aboriginal Tribe they are
we all should know thier history ! They will live forever that way
