The Indian tribes of what Ponce De Leon would call Florida did not survive European contact. The upheaval was too great. At the time there were 6 main tribes now referred to as the Lost Tribes of Florida. The tribes were:
The Timucua (of Northern Florida including St. Augustine)
The Yamasee (a competing tribe in North Florida and Georgia)
The Mayiami (a tribe that lived around Lake Okachobee)
The Calusa (of Southwest Florida)
The Apalachee, (in the eastern Florida Panhandle) and the
somewhat unnamed tribe of "Mound Builders" in the western Panhandle that rapidly morphed into what would become the Muscogee tribe. The Muscogee were soon to be called the Creek(s) by the Europeans as their society progressed.
It is known with certainty the Ponce De Leon made contact with the Timucua and the Calusa. It is not known which of the other tribes, if any, Ponce De Leon may have encountered.
