About this event
Learn about the spiritual practices of the Timucua people in colonial Florida during a presentation by Dr. George Aaron Broadwell. Spanish Franciscan missionaries converted many Timucua people to Christianity and created a 1613 confessional documenting spiritual practices associated with Native religion.
Broadwell examines this historical text and what it reveals about Timucua beliefs, daily life and spirituality, providing greater insight into the Indigenous people who lived in what is now Alachua County.
Description from Matheson History Museum.
