History about where they lived

• The Tocobaga Indians of Tampa Bay in Florida
  lived in villages that were really small and they
  were near the northern part of Tampa Bay. From
  the 900s to the 1500s that was what they would
  call home. Every village in Tampa was situated
  into a public location where they had a meeting.

What they ate

• The Tocobaga Indians ate fish, manatees, which
  were animals that lived underwater. They also ate
  corn, berries, nuts, and fruit. No one knows how
  they got corn but they were probably traded from
  other Indians. In that time, the Tampa Bay area
  was very rich with animals.
• They got their food by using spears, atel, atel
  clubs and their gardens! So they had to kill
  animals just to get food, which would have been
  hard to do!

The end of them

• Back in about 1528, Painfilo De Narvaez, a
  Spanish explorer, arrived in Tampa Bay and spread
  disease within the next 100 years. And thats how
  they got extinct!
