Juan Ponce de Leon interacted with the Native American Indians through a mix of diplomacy, coercion, and force. While some interactions were relatively peaceful, others involved conflict and the suppression of indigenous populations. Ponce de Leon's actions varied depending on the circumstances and goals of his expeditions.
Juan Ponce de León primarily used a combination of firearms and traditional melee weapons during his expeditions. He and his men likely carried swords, crossbows, and early firearms such as arquebuses. In addition to these weapons, they would have used cannons on their ships for naval engagements. These armaments were typical for Spanish explorers of the time, enabling them to assert dominance and protect against threats during their voyages.
He reached the Caribbean in November 1493. Historians are divided on what he did during the next several years, but it is possible that he returned to Spain at some point and made his way back to Hispaniola in 1502. Ponce de León equipped three ships with at least 200 men at his own expense and set out from Puerto Rico on March 4, 1513 on his first expedition to Florida. In 1521 Ponce de León organized a colonizing expedition on two ships to Florida, where they were soon attacked by Calusa braves and Ponce de León was injured when, historians believe, an arrow poisoned with the sap of the Manchineel tree struck his thigh. The colonists fled back to Cuba, where Ponce de Leon died a few days later.
