Native American Heritage Month in St. Augustine: History & Sites
It is easy to experience St. Augustine through its Spanish history. The Castillo, old streets, and mission sites dominate the city, while the Indigenous history associated with those same places can be much harder to spot. Spanish records mention Native communities throughout the colonial era, but archaeology preserves evidence that reaches much further back. That evidence has helped researchers identify settlements, burial practices, and other traces of Native life in the St. Augustine area.
