Culturally La Florida Lecture: Spanish Missions & Indians in the SE US

Time: 3:00 pm til 4:00 pm

Location: Flagler Auditorium, St. Augustine

Description: "Laboring In the Fields of the Lord: Spanish Missions and Indians in the Southeast United States"
Dr. Jerald T. Milanich, University of Florida

The missions of La Florida, Spain’s name for the southeastern United States, have been one of history’s best kept secrets. Beginning in the 1560’s, Jesuit and Franciscan friars established more than 150 missions among native peoples, primarily in what is now coastal Georgia and northern Florida. By the 1760’s, only two remained. Today, archaeology and history are the tools used to give voice to those long forgotten, a process ably described in this moving presentation.
