The Calusa Indians are important because they teach us about history and what it was like back then. One thing is the calusahatchee river is a water way from Lake Okechobee if we didn't have that river then the lake could've over flowed. Another thing is the shell mounds told us what they eat and what they were doing.

The Calusa Indians were a tribe in south Florida, They were fierce.They were known as the shell tribe because they would have shell mounds because their food was mainly fish and oysters. They made tools with the shells of their food. I have been to a calusa Indian shell mound on Sanibel Island.

The Calusa indians are "calos" which means fierce people. When other tribes came they would kick them off their land! They also would not share because they were fierce people that means that they powerful and mean. The Calusa Indians are descendants of Paleo-Indians who lived Southwest Florida. The Calusa Indians were important to our Florida history because they were the first Indians in Florida. They would also build their homes on mounds made of shells and clams.

The Calusa Indians have lived on shells they made houses made from shells, tools made out of shells and food they eat is also from shells. Than the archeologists go in middens and find many things that from thousands of years ago.

The Calusa Indians where very feared people because they where not very nice at all. Another name for the Calusa is The First Shell collectors. They lived near water so it was easier to get food. One of the reasons they made jewelry out of shells.

Calusa Indians were Fierce Warriors that is where they got their name from because Calusa means fierce. They were also known as shell collectors because I bet if you search up what did Calusa Indians look like you would see that they used shells as jewelry and hair accessories. You can also see that the Calusa Indians do not have much clothes because they were hunters , builders, and couldn't get access to fabric. The women and children's jobs were too prepare food for everybody else and the men's job were to build and create. They had waterways but they didn't have walls their main river was called Caloosahatchee it means River of the Calusa. I know right the river of Colusa would have been much easier to say then Caloosahatchee. They never did pottery and they were never farmers. Calusa Indians are important to Florida because if we didn't have a past we would not know what anything would be.
