“Engravings of the Timucua: The Past Is Not Always What It Seems” by Dr. Jerald T. Milanich
If you have visited a museum exhibit or read a book about the Indigenous peoples of Florida, it is certain you have seen Theodore de Bry’s iconic 1591 engravings of the Timucua. The images are thought to be based on paintings by Jacques le Moyne, a French colonist in northeast Florida 1564-1565. But are they? Dr. Milanich hopes to solve the 435-year-old mystery in his illustrated lecture. He will also comment on the historic mound located along the Halifax River in central Ormond Beach. Its history, too, is not what it seems.
