The black drink was from a yaupon tree and had caffeine…. Much like our coffee or tea today. It was used by the natives and the Spaniards who settled in Florida for quite a while. You can grow the tree if you in Florida in coastal areas or buy it online. Very interesting stuff!

Osceola would sing when drinking the black drink ..if im not mistaken

Very interesting.! However , it's sad to think about what was done to indigenous people and their cultures not only in Florida but around the world.

They should air your episodes in classrooms.

pretty funny to play that generic happy royalty free youtube music in the intro to a dark history video :D

[@CDeen]

Are there any museums in Central Florida that show these artifacts and information on the oldest ancient people who lived there?

[@miketuhrorocks1807]

very informative ,I live in Pinellas county and have found some interesting artwork that was made of clay and different types of stone. Would love to find out who made them. If you have time check my profile would love a comment.

Very interesting! However the repeated use of “indians” to describe the indigenous people was off-putting.
