Native Americans of Tampa Bay- The Tocobaga

Hermann Trappman and Elizabeth Neily have spent years discovering the first people of Florida. The images depicted here are inspired by archaeological materials and the incredible resources of the Tampa Bay Estuary. There's was a culture of city dwellers that traced their roots back into the millennia when mastodons and other giant critters roamed the great plains of ancient Florida well over 12,000 years ago. All that history is lost to us now, wiped out by the ignorance and greed of the European conquest. Diseases carried by Spanish soldiers swept through the countryside turning whole communities into ghost towns. This is a brief tribute to those ancient people.

Love Hermann's art. He really seems to capture the soul of the people in his paintings.
