How long ago did the calusas live?

Answer 1

The Calusa were a Native American tribe that lived in the southwestern part of Florida, primarily from around 500 AD until the 18th century, when their population declined due to disease and displacement. Their society flourished until the late 1700s, with significant cultural and political influences in the region. By the early 1800s, the Calusa had largely disappeared as a distinct group.
