Here’s the inked art for #Inktober today!
Here’s part of the Swampy’s Florida post:
Swampy and the gang say Happy Native American Day! They’re gathered around a chickee. The Seminole home was built off the ground to keep the rain water and critters from getting in.
The Seminoles were the second phase of Native Americans to come into and live in Florida. The first phase lived on the peninsula for far over a thousand years until being wiped out by the Spanish conquistadors. Some of the tribes that were here prior to the Spanish invasion in the early 1500s, were the Ais, Tequesta, Toboga, Timucua, Calusa, Apalachee, etc, etc. We’ll never be sure how many tribes were actually living on the peninsula or their lifestyle due to the extermination by the Spanish.
