With the recent events in Apalachee High School, I've been thinking long and hard about this. Will gun violence ever end? We've had constant tragedies and reminders of the state our country is in. We shouldn't be in a place where children are scared for their lives in the one place they should feel safe. As a student in America I'm concerned for whats next. Gun violence has taken so many innocent lives and it's honestly terrifying thinking of how the kids must've felt. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families dealing with this loss. Rest in peace to the four students and teachers who lost their lives, and safe recoveries to the 9 who were injured.

This Mississippian Mound village sits on a high plateau in what was once a forest filled with deer, bears, raccoons, big cats, opossum, wild turkey, squirrels, etc, et al. Alligators, fish, and turtles live in the surrounding creeks and lakes. Snakes and waterbirds are everywhere. I imagine waking up here each day was pleasant for the most part. Today it is surrounded by a subdivision, and backs up on the extremely noisy I-10 freeway. #apalachee #village #ghosts #archaeology #moundbuilders #indigenoushistory #landmark #florida #nativeamerica https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnj4YsEricT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

god DAMN it is hard to find information about indigenous peoples of the southeastern united states. if anybody has good resources on the appalachee, timucua, or choctaw peoples, or other tribes native to the south, especially florida, georgia, and alabama, i’d really appreciate it

i’m especially looking for information re: their traditional architecture, clothing, and food

The Apalachee are a Native American people who historically lived in the Florida Panhandle. They lived between the Aucilla River and Ochlockonee River, at the head of Apalachee Bay, an area known to Europeans as the Apalachee Province. They spoke a Muskogean language called Apalachee, which is now extinct.

The Apalachee occupied the site of Velda Mound starting about 1450 CE, but had mostly abandoned it when Spanish started settlements in the 17th century. They first encountered Spanish explorers in the 16th century, when the Hernando de Soto expedition arrived. Traditional tribal enemies, European diseases, and European encroachment severely reduced their population. The survivors dispersed, and over time many Apalachee integrated with other groups, particularly the Creek Confederacy, while others relocated to other Spanish territories, and some remained in what is now Louisiana. About 300 descendants in Rapides and Natchitoches parishes assert an Apalachee identity today.

Villages and towns were often situated by lakes, as the natives hunted fish and used the water for domestic needs and transport. The largest Apalachee community was at Lake Jackson, just north of present-day Tallahassee. This regional center had several mounds and 200 or more houses. Some of the surviving mounds are protected in Lake Jackson Mounds Archaeological State Park,

The Apalachee grew numerous varieties of corn, pumpkins and sunflowers. They gathered wild strawberries, the roots and shoots of the greenbrier vine, greens such as lambsquarters, the roots of one or more unidentified aquatic plants used to make flour, hickory nuts, acorns, saw palmetto berries and persimmons. They caught fish and turtles in the lakes and rivers, and oysters and fish on the Gulf Coast. They hunted deer, black bears, rabbits, and ducks.

I visited an Apalachee Mound near my house, on the day of the Blood Wolf Supermoon 2019. Oak trees grow upon it now. #mound #indigenouspeople #tallahassee #apalachee #trees #treesinurbia #oaktrees https://www.instagram.com/p/BtHa6lLH0M1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d1ov4ykqiti2
